Hi there! I have a request for a spice cake this weekend and I haven't been able to find a recipe for one. I would prefer to make it from scratch but am willing to try anything!
Also would I just use a buttercream frosting on the cake or should I use another kind of frosting? I have never had a spice cake so this is all new to me!
TIA for all of your help!!!
I haven't made Paula Dean's Holiday Spice Cake recipe but I plan to give it a try one day. You may want to consider it. If so, please post your results. Good Luck!

This is good - used it for a wedding cake last fall.
This recipe is from cdkitchen.com and was excellent
1 cup butter room temp
1 cup brown sugar packed
1 cup baker's sugar ( or regular)
4 eggs
2 tsp brandy or vanilla
3 1/4 c sifted cake flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 tsp Chinese five spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 c buttermilk
Cream butter and sugars well. Add eggs one at a time, add brandy. Sift together dry ingredients. Add to butter alternating with buttermilk. Pour into 3 lined greased and floured 9" pans. 350 for 35 mins (325 for convectio)
Frosting
3/4 c butter
1 1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c milk
3 cups brown sugar
Melt butter in saucepan. Add brown sugar and salt and boil 2 minutes, stir constantly. Remove from heat and add milk. Bring to boil again and remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm and beat in powdered sugar. Thickens as it cools.
I used half of the full strength frosting as a filling, and mixed half of it with RLB's neoclassic BC and a little brandy for the frosting. HTH
