Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves is the triple-threat in this dessert cake. This trio is the basis for just about any dish or drink that makes you get all warm and fuzzy inside. You know those spicy orange drinks you sip in the winter in front of a roaring fire? Those three spices are what make you go "ahhhh...." Bake this cake and serve it with a hot spicy orange drink and enjoy your own little corner of Heaven!
p.s. You might want to frost this cake with a cream cheese - whipped cream style frosting, or just serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
