Steps:
- Make the gingerbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch cake pan with a little softened butter and line with parchment paper, letting any excess hang over the edges of the pan.
- Place the orange juice and raisins in a measuring cup and set aside to soak. In a mixing bowl add the melted butter, molasses and sour cream, whisking until well combined. Add 1 2/3 cups of flour, the ginger, baking soday, cinnamon, cloves and salt and whisk together until combined. Drain the raisins, then add them to the batter along with the remaining 1 cup of flour and the crystallized ginger. Combine with a silicone spatula, then pour into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and set aside to cool completely before cutting the cake into 1-inch cubes.
- While the cake bakes, make the cranberry curd: Into a saucepan set over medium heat, add the sugar, cranberry juice and salt and whisk until smooth. Once the sugar is dissolved, whisk in the egg yolks, then add the butter. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the cranberry curd thickens and reaches 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat and transfer the curd to a bowl to cool.
- To assemble: Place a few pieces of the gingerbread cubes in a small jar, add 2 tablespoons of the cranberry curd on top of the gingerbread and top with whipped cream.
CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD
This recipe came with a loaf pan from Williams-Sonoma. The flavors are complex, and this is and a perfect dessert to bring to holiday get-togethers. You can add a glaze, but I prefer dusting the finished bread with sifted powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Make the cranberry sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cranberries have broken down and the sauce has thickened significantly. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool until ready to use.
- While the cranberry sauce is simmering, make the orange ginger whipped cream: Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, orange zest, ginger, and salt to a medium bowl. Use an electric hand mixer on high speed to whip until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Make the gingerbread crepes: Add the eggs, melted butter, flour, milk, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, molasses, and vanilla to a blender and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease the skillet with butter. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting to coat the surface of the pan evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the batter looks dry on top and the bottom side is golden brown. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 1-2 minutes. Transfer the crepe on a baking sheet or plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- To assemble, spread a few tablespoons of cranberry sauce evenly over the crepe and gently roll up. Repeat with the remaining crepes and cranberry sauce. Top with the orange ginger whipped cream and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, if desired.
- Serve the crepes with Mocha Frappuccinos.
- Enjoy!

UPSIDE-DOWN GINGERBREAD WITH CRANBERRIES AND PINEAPPLE
This cake reminds me of "Little Women," because it makes me feel old-fashioned and cozy with the ginger smell. My daughter enjoyed it very much and my husband said he likes it better than regular pineapple upside-down cake.

STICKY CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD
Sticky, spicy and full of cranberries, this gingerbread is perfect for the holidays. The recipe has been designed to make ahead, and will taste as good 2 days after baking as it does on the same day. (It will keep for 4 to 5 days.) To store it, wrap it well, stick it in the fridge and then bring to room temperature before serving. Whipped cream or crème fraîche, spiked with a little bourbon if you like, is nice on the side.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment.
- In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together cranberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir the cranberries over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and cranberries form a sauce that is syrupy and bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Aim to have about half the cranberries broken down, with the remainder more or less whole.
- In a separate saucepan, stir together the butter, brown sugar, milk, maple syrup and molasses over medium heat. Bring it to just barely a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Do not let it come to a boil, or the mixture may curdle.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. Beat in the butter-maple syrup mixture and then beat in the eggs. Stir in the ginger.
- Scrape the batter into the pan. Drop fat dollops of cranberry sauce onto the surface of the cake batter. Drag a long, slender knife through the batter in a swirly design, as if you are marbling a cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake it until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let the cake cool completely before eating it.

Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful gingerbread, use fresh, grated ginger. Ground ginger can also be used, but it will not be as flavorful.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender gingerbread.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense gingerbread.
- Bake the gingerbread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the gingerbread bakes evenly.
- Allow the gingerbread to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
Conclusion:
This cranberry gingerbread with brown sugar whipped cream is a delicious and festive holiday treat. The gingerbread is moist and flavorful, and the brown sugar whipped cream is light and fluffy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
