Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract (optional)
  • Frosting:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
  • 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan or a square baking pan.
  2. 2
    Stir flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. 3
    Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Dissolve baking soda into applesauce and mix into the creamed butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon orange extract. Add flour mixture and mix batter until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. 4
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out just slightly sticky, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack, about 1 hour.
  5. 5
    Beat cream cheese in a bowl with the electric blender until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon orange extract. Add confectioners' sugar gradually and beat until well combined. Spread frosting onto cooled cake.
