Buttermilk Spice Cake Recipe
- 3, 8″ cake pans.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Switch the mixer to low and add one egg at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- On low speed, add 1/4 of the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add 1/3 of the buttermilk, once again mixing thoroughly and scraping down the bowl. Repeat with the wet and dry ingredients, ending with the flour mixture.
- Divide the batter evenly into pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pans.Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to firm up before icing.
