Gingerbread With Lime Cream Cheese Frosting

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Grease an 11x7-in. baking dish.
2. Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg, molasses, water and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together flour, spices, salt and baking soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Transfer to prepared dish.
3. Beat cream cheese, lime zest, lime juice and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until blended; cover and reserve 3/4 cup mixture for frosting. Drop remaining mixture by tablespoonfuls over batter; cut through batter with a knife to blend slightly (mixture will not swirl).
4. Bake until a toothpick inserted in cake portion comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
5. Spread with frosting; sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate leftovers.
