Directions
-
Begin by preheating your oven to a tremendous 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your favorite cake pan to ensure the cake won’t stick.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed for a uniform flavor.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, almond extract, vegetable oil, and cold water. Mix well until combined. The vinegar is essential, as it helps create a soft and tender crumb.
-
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
-
Transfer the batter into your prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to even it out.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tempting aroma will fill your kitchen, making this time feel like an eternity!
-
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
If you desire a little extra sweetness, frost with cream cheese frosting after it has cooled. The creamy topping adds a perfect finishing touch to your tremendous creation.
