Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a large bundt pan. Lightly dust the pan with flour, tapping out any excess.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Switch the mixer to low speed and alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

Step 10

Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy the warm, spiced flavors of Kato's Golden Spice Cake!
