Gingerbread Cake with Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting
Makes (2 layers) for one 9”(23cm) cake
Print Recipe Here entertainingwithbeth.com/ging...
Ingredients:
1 cup (240ml) molasses
1 cup (212g) white sugar
1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (240ml) of buttermilk
2 eggs
2 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (4g) baking soda
½ teaspoon (2.5ml) kosher salt
2 tsp (10ml) ground ginger
2 tsp (10ml) ground cinnamon
1 tsp (5ml) ground nutmeg
¼ tsp (1.25ml) allspice
¼ tsp (1.25ml) ground cloves
For the frosting:
24 ounces (680g) whipped cream cheese
8 ounces (226g) regular cream cheese
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
1 Tbsp (30ml) + 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
¾ tsp (3.75ml) ground cinnamon
½ tsp (2.5ml) ground nutmeg
For the Garnish:
Dusting of Powdered Sugar
7-10 Rosemary sprigs
6-8 whole raw fresh cranberries
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Spray two 9” (23cm) cake pans with baking spray. Then line each pan with a 9” round of parchment paper (Place the pan on 2 sheets of parchment and trace it with a pencil and then cut out the circles.) Set the prepared pans aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the wet ingredients and set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking gently in between each addition, until combined.
Pour the batter into each pan, and bake for 23-25 or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely.
For the frosting: beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Then add the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until smooth. Transfer half the frosting to a pastry bag with a round tip ½” (1.27cm) in diameter.
Remove the first cake payer from the pan, and place it on a cooling rack, upside down. Gently remove the parchment paper and transfer the cake with a cake lifter to a cake stand. A wooden cake stand looks nice! Pipe small “Hershey Kiss Size” dollops all around the perimeter of the cake working from the outside in until the full layer is covered.
Remove the parchment paper of the second layer and place the second layer on top of the first. Pipe small little mounds of frosting all around the top layer.
Place in the refrigerator uncovered until ready to serve.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving to come up to remove temperature.This will create a smoother, lighter texture for the frosting Then dust the top with powdered sugar for a snowy effect. Add the rosemary sprigs to the base, overlapping around the cake, and add cranberries here and there in groupings of 2 and 3.

It looks beautiful Beth. Can’t wait to make it.

This is so perfect for the holiday season! Yum!
Beautiful cake
This is such a beautiful cake ❤❤
That is BEAUTIFUL! I love it!!! 😍
It’s so yummy too and so much fun to make. I hope you enjoy it!
Looks so pretty!! 🤎
And a little request from me if you need video ideas for the new year - I’d like fresh pasta recipes. I’m thinking of buying the kitchen aid pasta attachment but was thinking the fresh pasta needs lovely and delicate sauces which you’d excel at! Maybe ravioli too :)
I may try this cake in place of English Christmas pudding. My children don’t really like Christmas pudding, but think they would like this. I think I may just even make it in BUNDT pan and serve it with English custard or Rum sauce. Looks yummy! Thanks for great recipe and giving clear instructions. Merry Christmas.❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Oh yummy idea! If you do put it in a bundt pan, I may have you add another 1/4c of Flour to give it a bit more structure :) Happiest of holidays!!
I dont know what's prettier, the cake or you 😊
Loving the lipstick shade, little make up touches and the bling! You're looking mighty festive yourself, Beth!
And im here for it!! ❤
LOL! Ya think?! You are so sweet to say that, I was going for a festive look but I think I may have over done it! After I saw the footage I was like "Oh YIKES!!" Ha ha!!
@@EntertainingWithBeth No, no, just the right amount...! I just took a drive with my husband this morning, literally just sat in the car, but my red lipstick 💄 came along for the drive haha! It's about how it makes us feel....! And you were feeling festive, so you gave Festive! I LOVE! ❤️
@@sa-eedadaniels6853 lol! Well, you’re certainly sweet to say that happy holidays!!
@EntertainingWithBeth Same to you and your beautiful family 💝 (mum, dad, daughters, husband and extras haha)
Looking forward to the Christmas uploads! 🤗
It’s beautiful and I’m sure it is delicious
Oh it's sooo yummy! And easy too! Hope you enjoy!
Wow! This looks yummy 😋 You are just so perfect beth ♥️ sending love from Nepal 🇳🇵 and i never miss your recipe 😋 i'll definitely try this spice Christmas cake 🥮
I hope you enjoy it! It's soooo yummy! And easy too! Happiest of holidays!
Just want to thank you for all of your wonderful recipes over the years and to wish you and your a very merry Christmas and all the best in the new year, Beth.
Aww same to you! I'm so glad you have enjoyed the recipes over the years! They are always such a joy to share!! :)
Thank God for you. I made your pumpkin pie and gingerbread cake and oh my- everyone loved it. Merry Xmas from my family here in the islands of no where hehe hardly seen on the map… to your family. God bless you always and thank you for always entertaining. Keep em coming❤❤❤
Oh Beth, I cannot wait to make this! Thank you! ☺️
It’s so good I think you’ll really love it!! And so easy too. That’s the best part.!
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!!! Thank you, Beth, this is a toss-up, either the Chocolate Forest or this one, you are making it awfully hard to choose. But since I purchased the Bundt pan for the Chocolate Forest, this one will have to wait till New Year's dinner. Wishing you, Philippe, and the girls a VERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄 and a JOYFUL and HEALTHY NEW YEAR...here's to 2024.🎉🥳🥳
Same to you, Sandy! You can’t go wrong with either cake ha ha ha! I couldn’t decide either so I think I’m making both since we’re having about 10 people they’re both so yummy and festive! A very happy holidays to you and your family too!! ❄️🎉💕🎄🍾
Sounds absolutely divine! I like that the frosting only uses 1 cup of sugar! 😋😋
Oh yes! I dont like the frosting to be overly sweet! 👍💕
Very Nice for holiday ❤ thank you so much 😊
Beth, this recipe is great! I made them into cupcakes so I could bring them to work and they turned out great! I also added some cranberry jam filling - it's a great combo! I love how moist the cake is and how the frosting isn't too sweet at all. Happy Holidays!!
Oh I LOVE knowing they worked as cupcakes! What a cute idea!! That cranberry jam filling also sounds delicious!! So glad it was a hit!! :)
Such a beautiful cake, and looks so easy to make! ❤
It really is!That's the best part super easy! And so yummy too! :)
Kia ora (Hello from New Zealand ) I just found you for the very first time. I loved watching, I can't wait to try this and now I will be following you.
Aww thanks! So glad you found me! WELCOME! And I hope you enjoy the recipe! 💕👌
Aw it's so beautiful and yummy.thanks beth for sharing such a wonderful recipe
Of course! I hope you enjoy it. It is so easy and delicious!!
You are amazing.
Oh. My. Gosh!!! 😮 That is the most beautiful, Christmasy-est cake I've ever seen! It's absolutely perfect. Sheer gingerbread perfection!
I finally watched the video (sorry I'm late to the party, ☺️ but better late than never. I just need to figure out the sugar free sub for molasses for my own use (I'd make it per the recipe for anyone else!) and I'll be ready to roll! I just love gingerbread flavor and I'd love this, so will work on it for New Year's! (Haha Right now I'm sadly trying to get my gingerbread fix by smelling my dogs GB treats before I give him one. Sad... )😂
Thank you for this one, Beth. You are the undisputed queen of beautiful food that tastes as good as it looks! 👸🏻
BTW, I love that sweater on you. The sparkle in the stripes is the perfect understated holiday top!
Very lovely! I personally would dust it with cinnamon on top to make it even more eye appealing 😊
Oh yes! That would be a lovely idea! :)
Fabulous! A nice change from buche de noel.
Yes indeed! And way easier too. Ha ha ha! 😂
Beautiful, Beth! 🌟🌲🌟
Thank you! 😊 so glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful Beth!!! Also, so elegant, got a try this one. Merry Christmas to you and yours ❤🎄
Thank you! You too! :) Hope you enjoy the season!!
Another wonderful recipe 👌🏻 I will try this for sure. Thank you and Merry Christmas ❤
Same to you! I hope you enjoy it! :)
Thank you and Merry Christmas
Same to you! :)
I have been waiting for someone to make this video. Thank you for doing it!
Aww of course so glad you enjoyed!!
I do hope this recipe will be in your future cookbook, BTW, I love your necklace!!
Aww thanks! It's so funny having to decide what goes in the book and what doesn't. Part of me debated putting this in the book, but then It was sooo delicious I wanted everyone to have it now! LOL! I couldn't hold on to it for 2 years ha! Yes the necklace is a great find from Sezane! It's a chain you can add different charms to, I have the heart and the opal Here are the links! seza.ne/QuT9P3pBKn seza.ne/QPsV7QMcqv
@@EntertainingWithBeth Thank you, I noticed the link for your necklace as I was copying the cake recipe to print. You're so awesome, you think of everything!!
Perfecto Beth!
Do you have a link for the round frosting tip?
🎄 ❤ 🎄 ❤ 🎄 ❤
My 5 yr old daughter kept asking for a gingerbread cake now I find one making ur gingerbread cookie n cake for this xmas happy holidays fr my fam to urs ❤❤❤
Aww perfect timing!! I think she will love this!! Happiest holidays to you and your family too!!💕🎄🍾
That looks awesome and my mouth is watering 😋 6:52
Oh man that looks delicious! And I love the beautiful natural snowy look. Only booger is now I would need to convert to gluten free flour lol
You can do it! Just use a good one to ratio gluten-free flour. My favorite brands are cup4 cup, or Bob’s. Redmill has a good one-to-one ratio gluten-free flour, too!
Im going to try doing it gluten free too
Cant wait to make this soon for me for the frosting can i use vegan cream cheese i never had gingerbread cake with spiced cream cheese frosting before perfect for my after office snacks
Oh sure I bet a vegan cream cheese would be great! Hope you enjoy!
This looks so delicious, Beth! Does it work to make it completely a day or two ahead?
Yes, you could absolutely make the cake a day ahead or you could make the actual cake layers a day ahead and frost the day of either way would be OK. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love a great spice cake! I'm wondering what you think about substituting applesauce for the oil?
Sure you could try that. I know a lot of people do this with cakes, but I can't say I've actually tried it with this recipe, but maybe you could do 1/2 and 1/2? Half oil with 1/2 apple sauce? Just to retain some of the great texture the cake has :) Keep me posted if you try it because now I'm curious what it would taste like ha!
❤❤❤
Good Morning Beth this cake looks delicious, I've got a question can you use self rising flour instead AP. Hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Well I think you might have better results with the AP flour, the baking soda, and the salt called for in the recipe. Self-rising flour already has the salt added along with baking powder. But because we added the Buttermilk, it needs the amount of baking soda called for to create the tiny air bubbles that help the cake rise and create that soft fluffy texture that creates such a wonderfully tender cake. But if it's all you have no need to go out and buy another sack of flour if you don't need it. It will still be yummy but may not have exactly the same texture. Hope that helps!
👍👍😊😊👌👌
I wonder if instead of frosting, we could use whipped cream?
Love your channel Beth - is there any way to reduce the amount of oil in this recipe down to 1/3 cup? I make pumpkin bread with only 1/4 cup and it turns out delicious - I'm just not sure if I would need to change anything else in the recipe if I do this? Thanks for sharing♥
Well yes you would probably need to adjust a few things. Pumpkin has a lot of moisture in it and many people use it to reduce or omit the oil. But for this cake to retain its moisture I would only reduce it to 1/2 cup and then use 1/2 cup of water in its place. Hope that helps and so glad you enjoy the channel! :)
Can you use a 13x9 pan for this?
Can this be cake be frozen(un-frosted). I have limited time before Christmas and try to prep ahead.Thanks!
Yes, absolutely! You could make the cake layers ahead of time. All to cool completely. Then wrap the layers well in plastic wrap and then aluminium foil. Freeze and then place the whole thing in the fridge overnight to defrost. Then frost it the day before serving and place it in the fridge overnight. I hope you enjoy it!
Beth, I have all the ingredients out coming to room temp. Making this cake to bring to my in-laws’ for Christmas. 🙂 I can’t wait to see how this comes out! Question: that mixing bowl you use with the spout to pour out batter, is that from Amazon or is that something you already had? I love it! I’ll let you know how my cake comes out…❤️
Oh it’s something I already had. I actually found it at IKEA years ago but you could also invest in one of those pancake batter bowls for such a job. I think when dealing with batter to have a spout just makes it so easy! I hope you enjoy it and it’s a big hit. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Beth, this cake was AMAZING!!!! My fam not only ate it for dessert on Christmas, but everyone took a piece home, too. I escaped with a piece that my hubby & son just split. 😄 I didn’t pipe the cream cheese frosting on, but just spread it. The cake was so moist, flavorful & you could really taste the molasses and spices. I think this will be my yearly Christmas cake.
I pray you and your family enjoyed the holiday and that you have a beautiful, peaceful New Year! ❤
PS - I will be on the waiting list for that cook book to drop! So happy for u!!! 🙌🏼
@@cpolanco18 awwww! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!! isn’t it the yummiest ha ha! We made it to for Christmas and everybody loved it. It’s such a yummy one!
Hi Beth, forgot to ask you if you have a link for the round frosting tip or size, number.
My tip unfortunately doesn't have a number on it but I just measured it and it's measuring 3/4" in diameter :) Hope that helps!
@@EntertainingWithBeth I bought one today it a 1A from Wilton. They didn’t have a measurement on it. Just 1A embossed on it. I think it will work. Thank you you’re the best!
Can you use a different type of oil? For example a extra light olive oil?
I’m not sure about olive oil that might have too much flavor in it and be too heavy. But you definitely could use melted, coconut oil, corn, oil, or canola oil.
Can you please show us how to make French Christmas cake called Yule log on this coming episode???
Oh yes I have that video already, such a fun recipe! Here it is! Enjoy :) ruclips.net/video/6VKrADbfRJ8/видео.html
@@EntertainingWithBeth Thank you
Where do you get whipped cream cheese? I’ve seen whipped cream cheese icing (I’m guessing the sugar already in it) but not just whipped cream cheese. Please help
Oh sure if you are based in the U.S.A it's sold right next to the regular cream cheese. Otherwise, just buy the brick cream cheese and add 1-3 tablespoons (15ml-45ml) of heavy cream to the frosting to loosen it up. That would be better than anything pre-made and sold as "Whipped Cream Cheese Icing" since you'll be able to control the sugar and spice with the homemade :) . Hope that helps! Enjoy!
Beth...no make ahead Christmas menu in your downloads.
So sorry here it is! Let me know if you have any trouble! entertainingwithbeth.ck.page/8bcce7364c
Do you have a substitute for molasses? It's not available here
Oh sure I have heard that Treacle is the closest substitute, but if you can't that here are some other substitutions you could try :) greatist.com/eat/substitutes-for-molasses
@@EntertainingWithBeth Aw thank you so much✨ Will definitely make this tomorrow
Can you use gluten free flour to substitute?
Sure you could use gluten-free flour just make sure it’s a good one to one ratio gluten-free flour I really like the brand cup 4 cup, or Bob’s Redmill one-to-one baking flour. Hope you enjoy it!
