Categories: Cakes
Yield: 1 Cake

MMMMM-------------------------SPICE CAKE------------------------------
2 c AP flour; sifted
3/4 c Sugar
3/4 c Milk
1/2 c Light brown sugar; packed
2 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla
2 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Allspice
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
1/2 c Vegetable shortening

MMMMM-----------------------MAPLE FROSTING----------------------------
1/4 c Vegetable shortening
1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c Pure maple syrup
2 ts Vanilla
3 tb Milk
3 c Powdered sugar

Spice Cake:

Heat oven to 350?F. Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans. In a
large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.
Cut in shortening and stir to blend well. Add milk, then stir in
sugars, eggs, and vanilla.

Beat with an electric mixer set on low until blended, scraping the
sides of the bowl. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Pour batter into cake
pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Remove to
wire racks and let cool completely.

Maple Frosting:

Sift sugar. In a large bowl combine shortening, salt, syrup, vanilla,
and 1 cup of sugar; mix well. Gradually beat in remaining sugar and
milk until frosting is smooth and creamy. If too thin, add a little
more powdered sugar. If too thick, add a little more milk. Use
frosting immediately.

If, for some reason, you don't like maple frosting, buttercream works
nicely with the spice cake, too.
