Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with butter and set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. I set mine to medium speed and let is mix for 3 minutes until it was white and fluffy.
- While the butter is creaming, add flour, cocoa powder, spices, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and beat for 1 minute.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in 3 increments, mixing well in between each batch.
- Set the mixer on low speed and slowly drizzle in the milk. Scrap down the bowl and mix until you have a smooth, homogenous batter.
- Pour the batter into the grease loaf pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake for 75 – 90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center! Cool the cake and serve with coffee or tea!
