Buttermilk Spice Layer Cake with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting - Sugar and Spice and everything nice that's what this cake is made of...!
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 sticks plus 3 tablespoons of butter, softened
- 16 oz of cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
For the Frosting:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour 2 (8-inch) cake pans and line with parchment
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter. With the mixer running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the batter, starting and ending with the flour, mixing well.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.
- Cool on wire racks and then invert onto parchment paper. Use a serrated knife to slice each cake in half and set aside. (You can refrigerate the baked cakes before slicing them as well until you are ready to frost.).
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and cream cheese until silky smooth. Add the brown sugar and vanilla and mix on high until fluffy, 2 mins. Add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time until frosting is thick, smooth and spread-able. (I like a stiffer frosting so always use the maximum powdered sugar.)
- Fill and frost your cake as desired
