How to Make Beer Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of your favorite dark beer, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake starts browning too quickly, loosely tent it with foil.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
