Ingredients

Scale
Cake
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 6 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups milk
Cream Cheese Icing
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted
- 2–3 Tablespoons whipping cream
- cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ËšF degrees.
- Grease Bundt pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
- Beat butter, gradually add sugar beating on medium high until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs beating well after each one. Beat in vanilla.
- Alternate flour mixture with milk to butter mixture, beating on low just until combined. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the bowl.
- Bake for 35-40mins. Let cool in pan on cooling rack.
- Meanwhile make your icing.
- Beat butter and cream cheese together, add icing sugar and whipping cream. Beat until light and fluffy. Note: you want the icing to be on the soft side so it will run down the bundt cake a little. Add more whipping cream to achieve this (just a little at a time).
- Pipe icing over the bundt cake and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Notes
Icing can easily be changed to your desired taste. Add more cream cheese for a cheesier taste, butter to soften the flavour and whipping cream to make the icing more pliable. More icing sugar will stiffen it, and give a sugary taste.
You can easily freeze any leftover icing too.
