Preparation

Spice Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and all three spices. Mix well. Set aside.

In other bowl, beat egg yolks, oil and water together. Stir in lemon juice and beat for 2 minutes. Gradually beat into dry ingredients, until smooth. In other small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter. Mix well.

Pour batter into buttered 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) cake pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let stand for 15 minutes and then remove from pan. Spread cake with Caramel Icing and serve immediately.

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and stir in flour and salt. Cook for 1 minute while stirring (do not brown butter). Stir in milk. Cook until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add brown sugar. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add icing sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Refrigerate.
