Fall is here (for one half of the world!) 🍂 I’m going to celebrate all the way over here from Australia with this amazing pumpkin spice mix! 🤩 You can’t find pumpkin spice on the shelves here in Aus (even if it’s Autumn) so you have to DIY 🔨 Luckily it’s an easy combination of just five spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves ✅ so prepare yourself for upcoming pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cake and pumpkin latte recipes 🥤🍰🍪

Recipe below ⬇️ or on bakingenvy.com

In a jar, mix together:
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground allspice
• 1 tsp ground cloves
Seal airtight and keep for up to six months.

SMOOTH and RICH chocolate buttercream frosting 🍫 I love soft, sweet (but not sickly) and pipe-able frostings for my cakes and cupcakes! 🧁 I usually struggle with chocolate frostings which are too complicated, too sweet, or too hard! Not any more!! 😉 Just FOUR ingredients in this recipe and 15 minutes of prep. Seriously, less time than it takes to bake the cupcakes!

The recipe for my favourite chocolate buttercream is below ⬇️ or on bakingenvy.com

PSA the cupcakes in this image are my “moist chocolate cupcakes” and you can find the recipe on bakingenvy.com ✅

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
• 250 g (9 oz / 1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature- not melted!!
• 2 cups icing sugar / powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 tbsp milk, plus more as needed

1. Beat butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy.
2. Add cocoa powder and milk. Beat on low speed to incorporate then beat on high speed until fluffy and combined.
3. If the frosting is too stiff, add 1 tsp of milk at a time until it’s to your liking.
4. Use on cakes, cupcakes and cookies! Buttercream will set firm once refrigerated.

EASY vanilla layer cake 🍰 what do I mean by “

EASY vanilla layer cake 🍰 what do I mean by “easy”? No electric mixer for the batter, simple ingredients, and a cake which keeps in PERFECT condition for 4 days!! 🤩 This cake took a LOT of experimenting. After all, how do you get a moist and fluffy cake without using an electric beater? The secrets: using half oil and half butter for the best combo of texture and flavour ✅ whisking in boiling water to make the batter light and thin ✅ buttermilk to encourage the cake to rise ✅
This cake is great for stacking, shaping, or as a base for number cakes. I decorate the cake with my all-time favourite vanilla buttercream, but of course you can use your favourite topping 😋

⬇️ Cake recipe is below. For the frosting recipe and detailed instructions head to bakingenvy.com 😁

Ingredients
* 2 1/2 cups plain / all-purpose flour
* 1 tbsp baking powder
* 1 1/2 cups caster / superfine sugar
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 cup canola oil or any other flavourless vegetable oil
* 125 g (4.5 oz / 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
* 4 large eggs
* 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk - see notes for substitutes
* 1 tbsp vanilla essence OR 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup boiling water

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C / 320°F (fan/convection) or 180°C / 355°F. Grease and line TWO 20cm (8 inch) round cake tins. The batter is fairly thin, so only use springform tins if they are tight-fitting.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Whisk in the caster sugar and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil and melted butter. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. While still whisking, slowly stream in the buttermilk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or flat spatula to stir together the ingredients until just combined.
5. Whisk in the boiling water, a little bit at a time, and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth and combined.
6. Evenly distribute the batter between the two tins and bake both cakes together for 40-45 minutes or until lightly golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 mins in the tins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
