Spiced cake is a delicious treat to enjoy on its own or with coffee or tea. The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves is reminiscent of autumn and winter, and brings me back to my childhood when my mom would warm cinnamon and cloves on the stove with orange peels in the winter. I love the smells of fall, and the cinnamon walnut flavor of this cake is a perfect treat to enjoy for autumn dessert, or even as a Thanksgiving Dessert (in addition to Pumpkin Pie of course).
