Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 2 – 8” cake layer pans with cooking spray.

In a bowl mix flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda.

In a large bowl, beat eggs and oil with an electric mixer until combined. Add sugar and vanilla, beat well for 1 minute.

Slowly add flour mixture until combined – batter will be very thick.
