A deeply flavored, multi-layered cake combining the warmth of gingerbread with a rich, coffee-infused cream cheese frosting, perfect for festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup unsulphured dark molasses

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk, room temperature

1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee, cooled

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

4 cups powdered sugar, sifted

2 tablespoons strongly brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to three hundred fifty Fahrenheit. Prepare three eight-inch cake pans.

2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves), and salt.

3. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, molasses, and vanilla.

4. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

5. Stir in the one-half cup of cooled coffee until smooth. Divide evenly into the prepared pans.

6. Bake for twenty-five to thirty minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

7. Prepare the frosting: beat butter and cream cheese, then gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and the two tablespoons of cooled coffee.

8. Stack and frost the cooled cake layers completely. Chill for thirty minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature buttermilk for the best crumb. Chill the assembled cake for a cleaner slice. For deeper spice flavor, toast the spices briefly before using.
