Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings Frosting: 3 cups confectioners' sugar ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 tablespoon lemon or orange juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Cake: 1 cup packed dark brown sugar ¾ cup butter, softened 3 large 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 1 cup white chocolate chips Topping: ¼ cup chopped sweetened dried cranberries 2 tablespoons minced candied ginger ½ cup confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream Directions Beat 3 cups confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, lemon or orange 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. 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. I Made It Print 72 home cooks made it!
