Carrot Ginger Squares
Serves 24

kids will LOVE these Carrot and Ginger Squares

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded carrots (about 4 medium, page xxx)
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Myer’s Rum or 1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

For the Frosting:
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioner’s sugar, approximately
Minced candied ginger (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch by 13-inch cake pan and tap out the excess flour.
2. Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder and baking soda together in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine well, but do not overmix.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, place it in the oven, and bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center is nearly clean when removed, about 25 minutes. The nature of carrot cakes is that they be a bit moist, so take care not to overbake . Allow the cakes to cool in the pans, then turn them out and frost.
4. Make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together in the bowl of an electric mixer on high speed. Lower the speed to medium and gradually beat in the sugar; add more or less, depending on the consistency you like.
5. Spread the frosting over the cooled cakes, let it set for five minute, then cut them into squares and garnish with candied ginger.
