What a lovely spice cake. Nice subtle flavors, great texture, quick and easy to make. We really enjoyed this tasty treat. Awesome crumb. I used fresh ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves and orange zest for a memorable cake. We iced it with a lovely cream cheese icing. Thanks for sharing this treat which I made for Pac Orphanage Spring 2012.
