Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 eggs room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence

For Glaze

  • 1/2 tablespoon milk

Method
 

Making the cake
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a bundt pan and set aside.
  2. Whisk together flour and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream butter until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  5. With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour mixture and the ponche de crème in three additions: ⅓ of the flour → ½ of the ponche de crème → ⅓ of the flour → remaining ponche de crème → remaining flour.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides and a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or internal temp reaches ~210°F).
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the glalze
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and heavy cream until smooth.
  2. Stir in ponche de creme. Adjust consistency with additional milk, ½ tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  3. Drizzle glaze over completely cooled cake.
