Our Favorite Autumn Spice Cake

This is one of our favorite autumn recipes utilizing LunaGrown Jam. Rich moist spice cake can really make your day special on cool fall mornings. Especially if it comes in the form of a gift and this cake makes a perfect treat to share. In November of 2013 I received this spice cake as a gift, then made with LunaGrown Spiced Fig Jam. That gift has become a tradition for us. Each year we try to find a new way to enjoy it.

Traditionally this cake is created in a bundt pan however for some gatherings it's great in a sheet pan and served cut into cubes. We include some home whipped cream, additional LunaGrown  Jam, and some fresh seasonal fruits to enhance the celebrations.

"Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories.” ~ Buddy Valastro, Cake Boss

One of the nicer things about this spice cake is its versatility. While we enjoy it with the addition of Gingersnaps and hot tea it would be equally enjoyable with Orange Marmalade and a small snifter of brandy. Perhaps a cup of hot cocoa and a chocolate peppermint stick would better suit this cake on a snowy afternoon. Since it’s lower in sugar than many cakes, it’s perfect with just a pat of butter on those days you are in a hurry.

This cake makes a beautiful and memorable gift.

No matter how you choose to enjoy our Autumn Spice Cake you’ll remember it the year through.

Quite possibly you’ll bake an extra one and give it with a jar of LunaGrown jam, making someone feel remarkable this autumn. A beautiful way to say ‘Thank you’ to someone who has gone out of their way for you is to bake them something nice.

We hope you make this enchanting spice cake part of your autumn festivities.

Another one of our cool weather favorites is these delightful cinnamon buns. Serve them hot with your favorite jam for a special treat!
