Vanilla Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting


The vanilla gluten free cake is so delicious when I make it in the summer drizzled with mashed fresh berries, that I decided to make a spice version for the Fall.  Now that the weather is cooler my taste buds are calling for flavors similar to pumpkin pie, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and all-spice coming to mind. Since I love the convenience of the gluten free baking mixes and always have a few on hand the task was super easy and came together in a flash. I decided to frost it with cream cheese frosting that can be made from a gluten free frosting mix.  The result was very tasty and perfect for the season.  It would be a nice addition to the Thanksgiving dessert table. The spices I chose were what I like best so feel free to adjust to your personal taste.

Frosted and ready to cut

Recipe:

1 package gluten free vanilla cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon all-spice

 Add the spices to the cake mix and then prepare and bake according to manufacturer's directions.  Let cool and invert onto a serving plate.

Frosting:

Prepare the vanilla gluten free frosting mix as directed using the cream cheese variation.  Frost cooled cake and decorate with nuts if desired.
