Grenadian Spice Cake Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups white sugar

1 cup unsalted butter – chilled, cut into tablespoon-size pieces

1 ½ teaspoons grated lime zest

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

3 eggs

½ cup milk

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lime zest, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, stirring after each addition. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 75 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
