Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs and sugars. Mix until the sugars are dissolved and the ingredients and evenly combined. Whisk in vanilla extract.
- Fold half of the dry ingredients into wet and then mix in the oil. Fold in the other half of the dry ingredients and then mix in the orange juice.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake in the oven at 350F for 80-85 minutes. Test that the loaf is finished cooking by sticking a toothpick into the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is cooked all the way through. Remove the spice cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- While the loaf cools, prepare the icing by mixing together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until a smooth icing remains.Only when you are certain that the cake is fully cooled, pour the icing over top. Cut into slices and serve
