This chocolate spice cake has a perfect flare to it! The dark chocolate brown cake with a spiced inside topped of with a little bit of creme fresh.
Why I love this recipe
I love this recipe so much because it’s super chocolatey and the spice leaves a perfect balance to the cake. The creme fresh also leaves a fresh taste to the pallet.

Add some of the flour mixture in then milk. Continue this process and be sure to end with the flour mixture to get a nice fluffy cake.
Line a cake pan with parchment paper and grease it with butter spray or butter.
Add in the cake batter and smooth it out on top.
Bake the cake for 40 minutes.
Let it cool completely and then run a knife around the cake and gently flip over.
