My dilemma: I really want to make a spice cake but I usually use a maple buttercream frosting or some kind of cream cheese frosting. I'm going to make this Spice Cake but instead of the Molasses Cream Cream Frosting, do you think I could use my existing Chocolate Sour Cream frosting? Would that kind of frosting taste okay on a yellowish cake that has the scent of brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and buttermilk in it?
Also, the recipe doesn't mention a bundt pan but do you think I could use the bundt pan? I heart my bundt pan.
If the Spice Cake is not good for my existing frosting, should I just make some regular yellow or white cake? Ideas? Thanks! |
Chocolate frosting would not be good with that cake.
I wouldn't put a regular cake recipe in a bundt pan. If you want to use your bundt pan, look for recipes that are more like pound cakes. If you pick up the CakeLove cookbook, the author has lots of recipes for flavored pound cakes. Or check out recipes in the SmittenKitchen blog.
Yellow or chocolate would be better than spice. Or another flavor that goes with chocolate (peanut butter?)
