Eggs 5

Whole milk 240 ml

Vanilla extract 1 tsp

Lemon extract ¼ tsp

Ground cinnamon ¼ tsp

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F) gas mark 3.

Cream the butter and sugar

Place the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and using a rubber spatula to scrape down any unmixed ingredients from the sides of the bowl. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract and beat until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients

Sift the ground cloves, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, flour, baking soda, and salt into another bowl, then add to the butter mixture and stir until all ingredients are incorporated.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared ring mold and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then remove from the mold and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
