This batter for this cake calls for buttermilk. The acid in the buttermilk will react with the baking soda and baking powder to help this cake rise, creating a fluffy crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, be sure to read my article on Buttermilk Substitutes (https://thestayathomechef.com/buttermilk-substitute/) to pick something that works for you. Please don't just use milk or water. It will impact the results of the cake.

This cake will need to be stored in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese frosting. If you don't have refrigerator space or don't like cream cheese frosting, you can always use a regular buttercream. However, I strongly prefer the flavor of the cream cheese frosting when it comes to pairing with gingerbread. It provides the perfect balance!


Ingredients

GINGERBREAD:
12 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups molasses
1 cup warm water
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 00:00:14 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease three 9-inch round pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

3 00:02:17 - Divide batter evenly into prepared baking pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4 00:02:33 - Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 to 10 minutes before removing and cooling completely on a wire rack.

5 00:02:40 - Once cooled, make your frosting by beating cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract until just combined. Slowly add in powdered sugar until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
