Velvet Spice Cake
So I started with the recipe. Since I knew that this cake would be covered in many layers of sweet glaze icing, I opted for a less sweet spice cake.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon all spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare chosen pans.
- In a mixer, combine together flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, all spice, and cinnamon. Add shortening and milk and mix on medium for about two minutes.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing for a few seconds after each egg. Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until done.
- (My pumpkin pan is about six inches across and 3 inches deep.)
