This is a requested recipe that I haven't tried. The amount of cloves seems high, but I have posted it just as it was. If I do make them, I would cut that amount down considerably.

Time 45m

Yield 5 dozen bars, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup sugar
1 cup softened margarine
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon clove
2 eggs
1/2 cup light molasses
1 cup brewed hot coffee
1/2 cup margarine, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 -4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream the sugar and margarine. Sift together the flour, salt soda and spices. Add to creamed mixture. Add eggs, molasses and finally coffee.
  • Spread batter in a 15x10x1 pan, and bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes.
  • Cool completely.
  • For frosting, cream the margarine and cream cheese. Add sugar to desired consistency. Add vanilla and mix till creamy.
  • Spread frosting over bars.
  • Top with chopped nuts if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cream bars a more authentic taste.
  • Grate the ginger finely: This will help the ginger to distribute evenly throughout the cream bars.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cream bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cream bars until they are set: The cream bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cream bars cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Ginger cream bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover ginger. With their soft and creamy texture and their zesty ginger flavor, these cream bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
