    • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
    • 1 cup water

    Equipment Required

    Instructions for Crazy Spice Cake

    Preparing the Batter

    To start making the crazy spice cake batter, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or use a square 8-inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Whisk all the ingredients together until a smooth batter forms.

    Baking the Cake

    Once the batter is well combined, pour it into the prepared pan. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until it is slightly puffed and a toothpick tester comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    Frosting Options

    For those looking to elevate the delicious crazy spice cake, let’s explore some fantastic frosting options that will complement the warm and comforting flavors of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

    Baking the Crazy Spice Cake

    Classic Cream Cheese Frosting

    The classic cream cheese frosting is a timeless favorite that pairs wonderfully with the rich and spiced flavors of the crazy spice cake. It adds a tangy sweetness that enhances the overall taste experience. To create this frosting, simply mix 16 ounces of cream cheese frosting with 1/4 cup of caramel sauce until well combined. Spread it generously over the cooled cake and, for an extra touch, drizzle some more caramel on top.

    Vegan Frosting Alternatives

    For those following a vegan lifestyle or looking for dairy-free options, there are creative alternatives to the classic cream cheese frosting. Consider using a whipped cream cheese frosting without caramel or a whipped coconut cream frosting for a luscious and plant-based topping. These vegan frosting options provide a delightful and guilt-free way to enjoy the crazy spice cake without compromising on taste.

    Serving and Presentation

    How to Slice and Serve

    To present the crazy spice cake elegantly, carefully slice it into even portions using a sharp knife. The warm hues of the spices in the cake will create a visually appealing look. Serve each slice on a decorative plate to enhance the overall presentation. This cake is perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to formal events.

    Storage Tips

    When storing leftover cake, it’s essential to maintain its freshness and flavor for future enjoyment.

    1. Once the spice cake is cooled, ensure it is covered tightly either in its original pan or an airtight container to prevent drying out and absorbing other odors in the fridge.
    2. For longer storage, consider wrapping individual cake slices with plastic wrap before refrigerating to maintain moisture levels.
    3. Properly stored, the spice cake can last in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, ensuring each slice remains delicious with every bite.
