Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups eggnog

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk and eggnog until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the buttercream, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and eggnog until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Once the cakes are cool, spread the eggnog buttercream between the layers and on top of the cake.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for a more intense flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is softened for better mixing.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance, as it tastes better the next day.
