Healthy Gingerbread Sheet Cake

Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time: 2 hrs 25 mins
Serves: 18

This classic tasting, rich and moist gingerbread sheet cake gets a healthier make-over with applesauce (in place of some of the fat), whole grain flour and it is sweetened naturally with pure maple syrup and molasses. The cream cheese frosting is made with reduced-fat cream cheese! It serves a crowd (18 servings) so it is perfect for a Christmas party!

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup avocado oil or organic canola oil
1 ¼ cup pure maple syrup, preferably dark
½ cup cool coffee, decaf if desired
½ cup molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cup white whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cloves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
