Ginger Spice Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray, or if you have a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan, you can go with that instead.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and nutmeg into a bowl and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer (hand or stand version) to beat the eggs on high speed until very thick, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar.
4. Reduce the speed to low, and add in the flour mixture alternately with the whipping cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir in the vanilla.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top springs back when touched lightly, about 35 to 40 minutes. Watch closely because you don’t want to over-bake or the cake will be dry.
6. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the hot cake, cut into squares or wedges. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
