Marion and I exchanged comments about her wonderful spice cake recipe on one of her blog entries recently. I think it’s probably the second best cake in the world.
MARION’S EXOTIC SPICE CAKE
1 Pkg. Yellow Cake Mix
1 cup oil
1 small pkg. instant vanilla pudding
¼ tsp. allspice
½ tsp. cloves
1 cup of beer
4 eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ginger
½ tsp. cardamom
· Mix all well and blend for 2 minutes on high with electric mixer. Pour into greased & floured bundt cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 55 minutes. Cool in pan for about 20 minutes, then glaze.
GLAZE :
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
½ tsp. grated lemon peel
1 or 2 Tbsp. lemon juice

This is probably the best cake in the world!

Yuuuuuummmmmm! I'm smelling my dinner cooking and quickly reading this!!! Ack!!!
Love the Van Gogh cake and Marion's has me drooling......
Like the sound of these. As Pam says yuuuuuuuuummmmmm.
I had to laugh, Kelly. My loose leaf recipe book fell from the shelf a while back and scattered everywhere. The contents are still piled on a shelf in my office and I was wondering where that Spice Cake recipe was and you posted it! Must be friend karma, for sure. I can't wait to try the Van Gogh cake, too. (He's Ray's favorite artist!) Hope you have a great (dry) week. It's still raining here today. Blessings!
Both sound delicious! Too funny about Marion "refinding" the Spice Cake recipe here. Sigh. I'm trying the sugarfree approach, so cake is not on my list. I'll live vicariously through your cake.
