Description
A deliciously warm spiced cake topped with gooey toffee sauce, perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Stir in the milk, bringing everything together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle warm toffee sauce over the cake and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter.
