Chocolate Spice Cake

ByHealthier With Heidi

Once upon a time, a young baker named Maria decided to make a chocolate spice cake for her family’s Sunday dinner. She gathered all of the ingredients she needed: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a mixture of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

First, Maria preheated the oven to 350 degrees and greased a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Next, she combined the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set it aside. In a separate bowl, Maria whisked together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. She slowly poured the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until everything was well combined.

“The best cake you’ll ever eat!”

Maria poured the batter into the prepared pan and smoothed the top with a spatula. She placed the pan in the oven and set a timer for 35 minutes. While the cake baked, Maria cleaned up the kitchen and prepared a delicious chocolate frosting to go on top of the warm cake.

When the timer went off, Maria removed the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before spreading the frosting over the top. The aroma of the chocolate spice cake filled the kitchen and made everyone’s mouths water.

Finally, it was time for the family to dig in. They all took a slice of the moist, fluffy cake and tasted the rich chocolate and warm spices in every bite. It was the perfect ending to a lovely Sunday dinner.

  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp allspice

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Spray an 8-inch (at least 2-inch high) round cake pan with baking spray, rub inside surface of pan with a paper towel to cover evenly with the spray. If your cake pan is lower than 2-inches, use a 9-inch round cake pan). Line bottom of pan with parchment paper and spray parchment paper lightly. Set aside.
  • In a medium-large bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, and eggs, and whisk together until well blended.
    Add the flour, baking powder, salt and spices and mix until all flour is combined.
    Add the oil and stir well. Don’t worry, at first it will seem to separate but keep stirring till smooth.
    Pour the batter into prepared pan.

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake feels springy to the touch and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.
  • Cool cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes; then turn it out of the pan onto the rack.

Notes

  • This recipe contains too much baking powder.
