Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

    Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent the amber cake from sticking.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk together until smooth and well blended.

  3. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Adding Flavor

  1. 6

    Incorporate Flavoring Ingredients

    Fold in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg into the batter until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 7

    Pour into Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

  2. 8

    Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 9

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
