Spiced Cake with Orange Cream Cheese




Source of Recipe


Clabber Girl Baking Powder


List of Ingredients




2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 whole large eggs
5 large egg yolks
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Clabber Girl Baking Powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup apricot preserves

Orange Cream Cheese Frosting


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans (preferably Doughmakers).
With an electric mixer cream the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the spices, eggs and yolks, and beat, scraping the bowl, until light and fluffy.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl stir together the milk and vanilla. Beat the flour and milk into the butter mixture alternately, beginning and ending with the flour.

Divide the batter between the pans, smoothing the tops, and bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, run a knife around the edges and turn them out onto cooling racks.

Put one layer on a cake plate upside-down. Spread it with the apricot preserves. Spread about 1 cup frosting over the preserves and top with the other layer, right side up. Spread the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
