Time 2h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup applesauce
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon orange extract
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • Combine flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric blender until light and fluffy; stir in 1 teaspoon orange extract. Mix baking soda into applesauce and stir into butter mixture. Add flour mixture and mix until batter is smooth. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack until cool, about 1 hour.
  • Combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon orange extract in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in confectioners' sugar gradually. Spread frosting over cooled loaves. Decorate with crystallized ginger.
