The browned butter frosting adds a rich, nutty sweetness that balances the spices beautifully.” This mouthwatering cake takes roughly an hour to make from scratch as the preparation time is around 20 to 30 minutes before it bakes in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. According to Madison, this cake recipe is straightforward to make no matter your baking experience, as long as you are carefully browning the butter while making the frosting.
Madison said: “This cake is fairly easy to make, even if you’re not an experienced baker. The hardest part might be browning the butter for the frosting, but as long as you keep an eye on it, it’s simple. The batter itself is straightforward, and the ingredients are easy to find, especially during fall.
