Gingerbread Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 3/4 cups Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cups Butter
- 3/4 cups Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/4 cups Molasses
- 1 cup Milk (I Used Fat Free)
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 8 ounces, weight Nonfat Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Grease and lightly flour your pan (I used a loaf pan but a bundt pan would work, too). Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, and baking powder. Incorporate well and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, yogurt, and butter and beat for about 3 minutes until light and creamy, scraping the bowl often. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla and molasses.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture into the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides and mix some more.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, and then invert onto cooling rack and let cool completely.
- Once cake has completely cooled, make the frosting. Beat softened cream cheese for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
- Frost cake immediately. I used a pastry bag and pipped it on. Spreading it over the cake works wonderful too!
- Store cake in fridge if not using right again. This is an old-fashioned gingerbread cake, perfect for the holidays.
