Mix 1 1/3 cups evaporated milk with the vinegar and set aside. (Save remaining 1/3 cup from can for the caramel frosting.)

Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking pan.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.

Beat well together the butter, eggs and sugars. Add evaporated milk and vinegar mixture. Beat well. Gradually stir in flour mixture.

Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake about 30–35 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on rack.

While cake is cooling, prepare the frosting.

Heat brown sugar, butter and evaporated milk to boiling in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly. Boil and whisk for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gradually stir in powdered sugar.
