- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
For the Gingerbread Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 2 large eggs

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

To make the Gingerbread Spice Mix, simply combine all the spices in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
To make the Gingerbread Cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the Gingerbread Spice Mix. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the hot water, until everything is well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
To make the Cream Cheese Frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle with additional Gingerbread Spice Mix, if desired.
This Gingerbread Spice Extravaganza is a perfect combination of warm spices and sweet flavors. The cake is moist and tender, while the cream cheese frosting adds a tangy and creamy touch. This dish is perfect for any holiday gathering or special occasion. It is a dessert that will leave your guests wanting more.
