Beer Spice Cake

This is another recipe I tinkered with from allrecipes.com. I mostly tinkered with the spices, because the cake was originally heavy on the cloves, which isn't one of my favorite spices. It's a very sticky cake, and often sticks to the pan.

Beer spice cake

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup beer (I prefer Sierra Nevada Wheat Beer. I tried Pale Ale, but it had a hops after taste reminiscent of bananas)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder, spices, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and beat well.
Add flour mixture alternately with beer and mix well to combine.
Pour into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean
