Is it possible to make this chocolate spice cake vegan?

Unfortunately, I haven't tried this cake with vegan substitutes yet. However, if you try it, I recommend using this egg replacer and replacing the buttermilk with plant-based milk (create a buttermilk substitute with the tip below!). And, using a recipe like this one, you can make your own vegan cream cheese frosting!

How can I quickly bring my eggs to room temperature?

It is critical to use room temperature eggs in most baking so that the cold egg does not affect the rise or even baking of your finished product. If you didn't have time to leave your eggs out to come to room temperature, try this trick! Simply place the eggs in a bowl of lukewarm water for 15 minutes. This will allow them to reach room temperature faster, ensuring a great result for this holiday chocolate spice cake!

How do I quickly soften cream cheese?

Simply remove the block of cream cheese from the foil and place it on a microwave-safe plate to soften for this chocolate and spice cake. Then, microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until softened. It should be ready to incorporate into your chocolate ginger spice cake!

How can I quickly bring my butter to room temperature?

Place the stick of butter on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 4 seconds to soften it for this spicy chocolate ginger cake. Then, turn the stick of butter so that the other side is facing up and heat for another 4 seconds. Repeat this process for a total of 16 seconds.
