Quite Possibly the BEST recipe EVER

If you like spice cake, this is IT! We love this. I stumbled across it on the internet the other week. Try it. You can alter the spices, add nuts, add frosting. I bet cream cheese would be good! Okay...I digress. I have been using the Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer. It is a really good dark beer with caramel and toffee flavors (so they claim??) Anyway, this is it.....

Beer Spice Cake

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup beer
1 cup nuts (any unsalted kind, optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, allspice baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with beer and mix well to combine. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

Pour into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY!
Happy Baking!!
