Instructions
For the Spice Cake
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Combine flour, sugar, and spices and whisk together.
- Create a well in the dry ingredients.
- Add oil, water, vinegar, and vanilla to the dry ingredients.
- Whisk until just combined.
- Spray a half sheet pan (18-by-13 inch pan) and line with parchment. Spray again.
- Pour batter into a sheet pan and smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the Cinnamon Frosting
- Combine cream cheese, butter, and maple extract.
- Whisk until smooth and combined, 1-2 minutes (I use a hand mixer, a kitchen-aid or by hand works too).
- Add spices and powdered sugar.
- Whisk until fluffy, adjusting the consistency with the cream 2-3 minutes. You may not need all of it so add it gradually, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- The consistency of the icing should be smooth but hold its shape.
- After the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, if desired.
