Just follow these simple steps for major deliciousness.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Mix the Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then spray a 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine the Wet Ingredients:<\/strong> In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, eggs, applesauce, molasses, and vanilla.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stir Batter Together:<\/strong> Using a spatula or spoon, add the flour mixture to the sugar and oil mixture.  Mix until everything comes together into a batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool completely before frosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Frosting:<\/strong> For the frosting, using a hand mixer whisk the cream cheese until it is smooth. Add the vanilla, milk, and \u00bc cup of powdered sugar, and mix until incorporated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frost the Loaf:<\/strong> Continue adding more powdered sugar until a soft frosting texture is reached. Frost the loaf when it is completely cooled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped is-style-numbered wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"277351\" alt=\"Overhead shot of a bowl of dry ingredients. \" class=\"wp-image-277351\" title=\"Starbucks copycat gingerbread loaf is the ultimate holiday treat!

Here are some simple tips and variations to try. <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Over Mix:<\/strong> When you combine the wet and dry ingredients, only mix until just incorporated. Over-mixing can make the loaf dense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Softened Cream Cheese:<\/strong> Be sure to soften the cream cheese, so it mixes easier to make the frosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Nuts:<\/strong> You can add nuts to this loaf if you\u2019d like. Chopped pecans would be good as a topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butterscotch Chips:<\/strong> Try adding butterscotch chips to the loaf!
