Scratc spice cake

My choice too when ever mom asked for a birthday request

@posaune16 That's funny! Best thing I ever did was buy 2 boxes of those dishes when they came out plus I bought up all the extra open stock ones (bowls, plates, side plates)...I'm the only one in the family who can host everyone for days and still have enough dishes that match. I've had them 20 years and only broken one! They are cheap and durable! lol!

@a1angiem My mom has the exact same dish + set and we had it for years now! You're completely right, it is extremely durable :D

hi angie, finally i divided the recipe into 2 then after first baked i prepared the 2nd... then make frosting...its yummy.. tq for sharing

[TheMariaevelina]

i bake using convection microwave.. do i need to reduce the temperature? if yes how much? and is it fine for the 2nd pan to wait on temperature room as i can put only 1 pan inside the oven?

[a1angiem]

@TheMariaevelina wow, that's really interesting! i've never used a convection microwave before...how long does one cake take to bake? how is the texture? it is best to bake the batter right away b/c the baking powder/soda is activated as soon as it gets wet. if the first cake only takes minutes, then it would be fine i think!

hi

can you substitute the sourmilk for butter milk? and how about the flour can you use cake flower instead or will that make the cake too soft?

[ms2333]

@KaGomeRuleZ4Ever Note I'm not the OP, just a decent home baker. You can sour your milk with a bit of acid...lemon juice or vinegar works fine...but what you end up with is more runny so your batter is thinner and might change the texture of the finished cake slightly. It won't ruin it, though, and you may not even notice so go for it. You can generally use cake flour substitued by weight, but note that cake flour is lighter than AP flour so you have to use a bit more to get the same weight.

I am sorry, it's late, and I have now tried to make 7-minute frosting for the third time only to be met with failure. Where is your video of that recipe? I do not have a double-boiler, so I was following directions for making it on the stove, but my technique must be entirely screwed up if I can fail three times. Any guidance is TRULY appreciated.

Does the cake taste more

like coffee? Can you taste

the sour milk?

[a1angiem]

It tastes like spicey/cinnamon-y chocolate...no, you can't taste the sour milk!!

[McDidier2012]

[5025026]

nice mixer and great recipe

[BushmanLovesYou]

Great video, I usually dissolve the instant coffee with the liquid, for some reason I sometimes get little chunks of coffee if I don't.

[a1angiem]

Ha!ha! You're right! The recipe says that and I usually do, but it worked out anyway! Thanks for pointing it out - excellent advice! :0)
