Gingerbread Loaf with Frosting

Ingredients:
butter, without salt
sugars, granulated
orange juice, raw
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
spices, cinnamon, ground
spices, cloves, ground
spices, ginger, ground
leavening agents, baking soda
salt, table
applesauce, canned, unsweetened, without added ascorbic acid (includes usda commodity)
cheese, parmesan, hard
vanilla extract
orange juice, raw
sugars, powdered

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan or pans with nonstick cooking spray.
(I used 3 mini pans.)
Cream the butter, sugar, and orange extract.
Add in flour, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
Stir in applesauce.
Distribute the mixture between the baking pans.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until an inserted wooden toothpick comes out clean.
In the meantime, for the frosting, in a separate bowl cream the cream cheese.
When the cheese is fluffy, add in vanilla and orange extracts.
Mix confectioners sugar until light and fluffy.
Note: This makes a lot of frosting and I actually doubled the loaf recipe and made 6 loaves and 1 frosting serving.
Each loaf still had ample frosting per loaf.
Enjoy!
