Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Ginger
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Buttermilk

Equipment

9-inch round cake pan

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of ginger.
In a separate large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
