Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Grease and flour two or three 8-inch round cake pans, or one 9x12-inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, cinnamon, ground cloves, and allspice.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, eggs, vanilla extract, and half of the sour cream.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or about 300 strokes by hand.
  6. Add the remaining sour cream and beat for 2 minutes longer until smooth.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
  11. Gradually add the confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon, blending well until smooth.
  12. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and the top of the cake.
