What does spice cake taste like?

Question

Thinking about making it, but I don't want to make it ans then have everyone's heads turned up because it could be disgusting.

So can anybody describe what it tastes like? Is it really good?

Answer 1

i agree that it tastes kind of like pumpkin pie. and it is SO DELICIOUS with a cream cheese frosting, that is seriously one of my favorite foods! just make sure not to go overboard with the spices, so that it's mild enough for everyone. and can i have a piece when you're done? ;-)

Answer 2

Like Autumn at a pumpkin patch. =) Like Pumpkin pie, but a cake!

Answer 3

It tastes like cake with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and all that stuff in it.

Answer 4

spice cake is my absolute FAVORITE! with cream cheese frosting. it's pretty much just cinnamon sugar cake sort of. it's not hot like peppers or taste like big red gum or anything.

a lot of people I know seem to be afraid of it because it's not chocolate or yellow, but it's really really really good. kinda like carrot cake without the carrots.

I have spice cake every year on my birthday..and a lot of the time through out the year haha

Answer 5

One of our favorites and great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.  Spice cake is a lot like what we used to call coffee cake.  It is a basic cake recipe with cinnemon and brown sugar sprinkled over the top.  Used to be a lot of work, but with the boxed mixes available, it is pretty easy.  It is spicy with a lot of cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg etc in it's topping, so serve it after a bland meal.  Or for a group get-together with cold milk, hot coffee or tea.  It is very sweet, so no cocoa or soft drinks.  Yes, it is really good.

Answer 7

Like a regular white cake with allspice, cinnamon, n cloves in it. Not over powering just a hint. With nuts and cream cheese icing. Kinda like Carrot cake or molasses cake or sweet potato or pumpkin muffins/bread.
