GINGER CAKE WITH ORANGE CREAM CHEESE ICING
Tis the season for Ginger. This is a Ginger bar cake. I added orange zest, brown sugar, and extra spice to it. I topped it off with my orange cream cheese icing. It is yummy and so very easy to make. This is a wonderful dessert to add to your Christmas menu. No making batches of cookies. It is an easy and a quick dessert.
