Equipment

  • 12 cup bundt pan

Ingredients

  • 3 cups All purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • ½ tsp Ground Cloves
  • ½ tsp Cardamom
  • ½ tsp Ground Ginger
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup Milk (room temperature)

Glaze

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 4-5 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Corn Syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, cardamom, ground ginger, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add room temperature butter and beat for 3 minutes. Then add cream cheese and cream together for an additional minute. Add brown sugar and sugar and continue to mix for another two minutes, then begin to add eggs, one at a time, making sure that each egg is fully incorporated into the batter prior to adding the next.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add vanilla extract and milk. Mix until combined, then add the dry ingredients mix until just combined.
  • Spray a cake pan with nonstick baking spray and coat in 3-4 tbsps of sugar. Tap off any excess sugar. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake for 1 hour and 10-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn over onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting, combine powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and corn syrup in a bowl and whisk together. Pour over the cake once it has cooled completely.

Notes

Tips
  • Prep Your Bundt Pan: Ensure your Bundt pan is well-greased. Pay extra attention to the nooks and crannies to prevent sticking.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature prior to assembling the cake batter. This helps create a smoother batter and better incorporation of ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can lead to a tougher cake.
