Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon Rum
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and rum.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Fold in the chopped nuts if desired.

7. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for decoration if desired. Slice and serve.
