Gingerbread Loaf With Cream Cheese Frosting
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a loaf pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk your flour, baking soda and spices together and set aside.

  3. Add your molasses to a bowl or a measuring cup, and pour your hot water over it and mix till combined.

  4. In a stand mixer bowl, beat your butter and sugar till combined. Add your egg and vanilla add beat till combined.

  5. Take the bowl off the mixer and in increments of 3, add your flour mixture and molasses mixture. Folding in between each addition. DO NOT OVERMIX.

  6. Your batter will be a little runny and you’ll see tiny lumps, that is normal.

  7. Transfer into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes.

  8. While your loaf is baking, beat your cream cheese with a hand mixer till it’s soft. Fold in your powdered sugar till there it’s incorporated and the beat the mixture till you get a nice smooth frosting.

  9. Use a toothpick or skewer to make sure the loaf is fully baked before removing from the oven. Cool on a wire rack completely.

  10. Spread your frosting over the loaf.

  11. OPTIONAL: I added some crushed ginger snap cookies on top to give it a crunch.
