Time 7h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups confectioners' sugar
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
¾ cup butter, softened
3 eggs
2 tablespoons minced candied ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup chopped sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
1 cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
2 tablespoons minced candied ginger
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Beat 3 cups confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frosting is smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing cake.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until smooth. Stir 2 tablespoons ginger, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt into brown sugar-butter mixture until incorporated.
  • Beat flour and baking powder into brown sugar-butter mixture until batter is smooth; fold in 3/4 cup dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cake completely, 4 hours to overnight. Remove frosting from refrigerator 1 hour before frosting the cake.
  • Spread frosting evenly over cake; sprinkle with 1/4 cup dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons ginger.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and cream together in a bowl until smooth; drizzle over frosted cake. Cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
  • Cut cake in half lengthwise and each half into 8 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half diagonally, creating 16 triangle-shaped bars.

The bars were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would use less cranberries next time. But the crust and white chocolate ganache were perfect.

The bars were a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter to the crust next time. But the flavor was good.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the crust and filling next time. But overall, they were still a good dessert.
