Caramel Spice Cake

For me, this dessert is just a simple piece of cake that doesn't have to take all day to prepare. Making cake mix at home or buying a ready-made box of cake mix is the way to make a fast and delicious cake. My recipe for spice cake topped with caramel sauce is rich, but simple and exceptional to eat.

Ingredients:
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp all spice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cups skim milk
1 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
3 eggs
Caramel sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, all spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center. Add eggs, oil, vanilla, and milk. With a handheld mixer, beat with low speed until flour mixture is moistened. Stir in raisins and nuts. Pour the batter in the prepared to Bundt cake pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes and pour the caramel sauce over the top.


To make a caramel sauce:
In a sauce pan over low heat, add butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and milk until the sugar and the brown sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and stir in the confectioner’s sugar and whisk until the sauce becomes the consistency of your desire.
