Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch cake pan.

  • Make the Cake Batter:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

  • Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Make the Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and pourable.

  • Glaze the Cake:

    • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Allow it to set for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  • Serve:

    • Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!

Notes

  • Add crunch: Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty twist.
  • Add fruit: Stir in diced apples or raisins for a fruity touch.
  • Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
