SPICY GINGER APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Spicy Ginger Applesauce Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This simple sheet cake is packed with three kinds of spicy ginger: fresh, ground and crystallized. The cake is delicious on its own, but cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of crystallized ginger push it closer to dessert. The cake can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated and brought to room temperature before serving. The crystallized ginger should be sprinkled on just before serving as it will weep in the fridge.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/4 cups/275 grams light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups/480 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup/180 grams neutral oil like canola or grapeseed
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup/85 grams finely chopped crystallized ginger
12 ounces/350 grams cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups/226 grams confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 cup/85 grams finely chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light, about 1 minute. Add applesauce, oil, fresh and ground ginger, orange zest, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder, and whisk until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on a countertop to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
  • When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the ginger, lemon zest, vanilla and salt, and mix on low.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake in dramatic swoops and swirls, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crystalized ginger on top. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cake batter is smooth and lump-free, make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before creaming them together.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts in the cake batter.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before whipping them together.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually to the frosting, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming lumpy.
  • For a richer frosting, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder or melted chocolate.
  • To decorate the cake, pipe the frosting onto the cooled cake using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
