Ingredients
- For cake Base: shopping list
- 2 sticks margarine (or butter if you want to indulge) -- softened shopping list
- 1 and 1/4 cups brown sugar-- packed shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 and 1/2 cups flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup minced dried cranberries shopping list
- 1/4 cup Lindt or Perugina or other quality white chocolate -- coarsely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup minced candied ginger shopping list
- For Frosting: shopping list
- 4 ounce cream cheese -- softened shopping list
- 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons butter -- softened shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- For Garnish: shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons minced dried cranberries shopping list
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (e.g. Ghiradelli or Guittard) -- melted shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
- Beat butter and sugar together for the cake base, and add eggs/vanilla beating until fluffy. Sift together flour, ginger, and salt and then add to the butter/sugar mixture beating well. Fold in the cranberries, chocolate and ginger. Spread thick batter in pan and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden.
- When cake is cooled, mix all frosting ingredients together and spread a thin layer over the cake. Immediately sprinkle with the minced cranberries. Then use a cake decorating bag of melted white chocolate with a tiny decorating tip (like the size used for writing on cakes) and drizzle the chocolate over the cake.
- Cut this into bars immediately because the white chocolate hardens pretty fast and makes cake cutting messy.
