Spiced Layer Cake With Dulce Frosting

A layered spiced cake, light yet dense with warm cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg notes. Replacing some flour with almond meal for texture and swapping molasses with maple syrup to soften bitterness. Egg-whip aeration crucial for lift; folding flour gently retains air. Dulce de leche combined with mascarpone and whipping cream creates a luscious, stable frosting with richness and slight tang. Precise oven temp and toothpick test critical. Decorate with ginger snap stars for crunch contrast or opt for crystallized ginger pieces. A tactile, aromatic baking process rewarding patience and exactness.
