Recipe by Elizabeth Taliaferro
This spicy confection is topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. In place of a traditional lemon sauce, a dollop of Lemon Curd adds the finishing touch.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6 3/4 ounces)
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2/3 cup fat-free milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °.
- To prepare cake, place 1/3 cup granulated sugar and butter in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed for 2 minutes or until well combined. Add molasses and egg; beat well.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through cloves) in a medium bowl. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spoon batter into an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 ° for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- To prepare frosting, place cheeses, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar; beat at low speed just until blended (do not overbeat). Spread frosting evenly over top of cake. Top each serving with Lemon Curd.
