Description

Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1½ cups flour
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1½ teaspoons ginger
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• ½ cup molasses
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 2 (8-ounce) packs cream cheese, softened
• 1 stick butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups confectioners sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper letting the edges of the paper extend over the sides for easy removal.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together butter, dark brown sugar, molasses, sour cream, and eggs until combined really well.
• Gradually stir the flour mixture into butter mixture until no lumps or streaks remain. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon.
• Add confectioners sugar ½ cup at a time, turning speed down to low with each addition and then back up to medium to combine well. Beat in brown sugar.
• Spread frosting on cake and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
