Makes 7 mini loaves
Whisk together and set
aside:
1 cup sour cream
1 cup milk
Mix in bowl:
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. orange extract
1/4 cup molasses
2 eggs
In separate bowl, wisk together:
3 cups flour
4 tsp. cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp. ground cloves
4-1/2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
Add sour cream mixture to butter mixture intermittently with flour mixture.
Mix all together, but don't overmix.
Bake at 350 in greased tins for about 35 min.
Frosting:
1 cube real butter
1- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese,
softened
1 tsp. vanilla
zest from one orange
1/4 tsp. orange extract
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Mix butter and cream cheese a lot, until smooth. Add other ingredients. Frost loaves after they are
completely cooled. I like to keep frosted loaves in the fridge so the
frosting is set.
