- 1/4 TSP. SALT
- 1/2 TSP. GROUND GINGER
- 1 TSP. GROUND CINNAMON
- 1/2 TSP. GROUND NUTMEG.
- 1 1/2 CUPS MILK
- 2 TSP VANILLA
- 2 1/2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR (WHITE-LILY)

Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer and mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time. Add baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add milk and vanilla. Start adding flour 1/2 cup at a time.
- Finish adding flour and mix for 2 minutes on a medium speed. Pour into 3 wellgreased and floured round cake pans or a 13”x9”x2” sheet cake pans. Recipe makes too much batter for 2 round cake layers. If using round cake pans, do not fill over 3/4 full of batter. Bake until middle rises and cake begins to pull away from edge of pan.
- Do not check until 25minutes has passed for round layers and 30 minutes has passed for sheet cakes. Watch close at end and take out when toothpick comes out clean.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add sugar and milk stir well. Bring to a slow heat using a (medium/low) setting. Once mixture starts to bubble a little, turn heat up to medium/high and cover with a lid.
- Once covered turn on high setting (electric stove top should use med/high) and boil rapidly for 3 minutes using a timer. Important Tips: Pour caramel out of saucepan without scraping. Use clean utensils without sugar granules every time you stir. Turn off caramel and immediately pour into a stand mixer’s mixing bowl.
- Turn mixer on high, add 1 Tbsp. of cream and egg white, vanilla & salt. The heat of caramel cooks the egg white. Ice cake immediately. NOTE: If it hardens, use a stainless-steel spoon and scrape from sides of bowl and then add a drop of cream.
