The other day we went to Starbucks and I had the Christmas tree Frappuccino and I did not like it. I generally like Starbucks frappas but this was definitely is my least favorite. My little man wanted a ginger bread loaf and as all the other things in there, it costed a fortune.
Old Fashioned Ginger Bread (Starbucks copycat Ginger bread)
Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray
Cream together the butter and the sugar until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and the egg. Blend in the applesauce.
Slowly add the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices (ginger, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.) When everything is mixed, pour the batter into your loaf pan.
Bake for about 55 minutes until it is risen and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool it on a rack.
To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese with the vanilla and then add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. Spread a thick layer of the frosting over the gingerbread cake. Enjoy
