Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
½ tsp vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup applesauce
1½ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground clove
½ tsp ground nutmeg
4 oz cream cheese softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp freshly grated orange zest

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray a 9×5 loaf pan lightly with cooking spray.
Cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and the egg.
Mix in the applesauce.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and then add it to the bowl slowly.
When flour is incorporated, turn the batter into loaf pan, and spread evenly.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until it is risen and a toothpick comes out clean. Check frequently, and be careful not to overbake. You want the loaf to be moist. It will dry out quickly if overbaked.
Let cool completely on a rack before frosting.
Beat the cream cheese with the vanilla and then add 2 cups sugar and the orange zest and beat until smooth and creamy.
Spread a thick layer of the frosting over the gingerbread loaf.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for several days. I like to warm a slice just slightly in the microwave (about 15 seconds) before enjoying with my coffee.
