Dulce de Leche Spice Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottoms of two 8-inch (20 cm) springform pans with removable bottoms with parchment paper. Do not butter the sides.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, spices and salt.

3. 3

   In another bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, molasses and vanilla with an electric mixer until the mixture has tripled in volume and falls from the beaters in a ribbon, about 10 minutes. With the machine running on low speed, gradually add the oil. Using a whisk, delicately fold in the flour mixture. Divide the batter between the two cake pans.

4. 4

   Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and immediately turn over onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 3 hours. Pass a thin blade between the sides of the pans and the cakes and unmould.
