Instructions
Prepare a 350°F oven. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Mix butter and sugar. Stir in the oil. Beat quickly after each egg and clean the bowl. Combine buttermilk and vanilla.
Mix the flour mixture and buttermilk in three additions and other ingredients.
Bake the batter for 40 minutes. Cool in a pan.
Mix butter and cream cheese. Mix vanilla, brown sugar, and salt. Complete mixture; beat until fluffy. Spread frosting on a chilled cake. Served.
Tips
Wrap the cake well and keep it in the fridge for two days or in the freezer for three months.
To serve, bring to room temperature, fro
st, and then serve. It is safe to freeze frosted cakes for up to three months.
Use 2 9-inch cake pans for best results, and bake the layers for 30–34 minutes.
The
spice cake icing
can also be prepared and stored in the fridge until it is time to decorate the cake.
You could add a half cup of raisins to the batter for extra texture and chew before baking.
Fill the cup with flour using a spoon. Directly scooping a measuring cup into a flour bag will pack flour, resulting in excess flour.
To check for doneness, use a toothpick.
