Frosted Gingerbread Spice Cake
The holiday season is once again upon us, and with that are all the favorite flavors that just go hand in hand with 'decking the halls'. Gingerbread is one of the flavors that are most popular at our house.
During November and December, from cookies to lattes and even milkshakes. We love the flavor in baked goods and beverages.bring it on!!!
I found a cake recipe while browsing the internet and knew that I had to give it a whirl this holiday season. Cream cheese frosting sounded like the perfect compliment to gingerbread and I got to baking.

Prep Time 5 minutes Cook Time 30 minutes Total Time 35 minutes
Ingredients

1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 t ground ginger
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/8 t salt
1/8 t ground cloves
2/3 cup milk

Frosting:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 t vanilla extract
1.5 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 9x9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
With electric mixer cream butter and sugar. Add in molasses, egg, and vanilla, blend thoroughly.
Alternate mixing in remaining ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with flour.
