Chocolate flavor? Let's avoid this triviality and move to spices, one of the best ways to make your cake flavorful. Spice cake is a cake made with a lot of really warm, cozy spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves that are typically enjoyed during the fall and winter months. Spice cake is for you if you're into warm and cozy.

Moreover, its dense and moist base doesn't require standard frosting. Because when made right, awesome moist spice cake doesn't need a swipe of frosting. Here the cream cheese frosting comes into play. Before you start enjoying your cooking time, catch a few life hacks on how this sweet culinary masterpiece:

It can be double-wrapped in plastic a day ahead. Also, the batter can be divided and baked in two 8-inch square cake pans. It opens the option to take one small cake on the picnic. Or freeze another later, as it can be stored for up to 5 days.
Wrap a 15x10-inch piece of cardboard with colorful foil wrapping paper to make a decorative but at the same time disposable serving platter for the cake.
Look for fruit-punch-flavored fruit roll snacks in motley colors to create multi-hued mums.
