How to Make Grenadian Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a tube/bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 tablespoons lime zest, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 50 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
