Notes
Optional: Add raisins and/or nuts for added flavor and texture.
Cream cheese frosting and plain vanilla frosting go well on this cake. Instead of frosting dust with powdered sugar or eat plain.
You can use apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.
Store the cake covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days. If using cream cheese frosting, store the cake in the refrigerator.
