Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch cake pan, ensuring that it’s ready for the tremendous batter that will soon fill it.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well, allowing the spices to intermingle for a tremendous flavor base.
-
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
-
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, pouring the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed; don’t worry if a few lumps remain—the magic happens when everything comes together during baking.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. If you’re using nuts, this is the perfect time to sprinkle them evenly over the surface for an added layer of texture.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will fill your kitchen—an indication of the tremendous treat that awaits.
-
Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Drizzle with maple syrup just before serving for a little extra sweetness!
