2. Beat Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

3. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, beating continuously until well combined and smooth. The frosting should be thick and spreadable.

4. Add Candied Ginger: Finely chop the candied ginger into small pieces. Add the candied ginger to the frosting mixture, stirring gently to evenly distribute the ginger throughout the frosting.

5. Spread on Cake: Once your cake base is ready, whether it’s a moist carrot cake, a flavorful banana cake, or a tropical pineapple cake, ensure it’s still warm from the oven. This will allow the frosting to spread easily and meld with the cake’s surface.

6. Frost the Cake: Using a spatula or knife, generously spread the ginger icing over the top of the cake, covering it evenly. You can also layer the frosting between cake layers for extra indulgence.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into portions and serve immediately for a delicious treat that’s bursting with flavor.

Tips and Variations

• Storage: Store any leftover cake with frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
• Customization: Feel free to adjust the amount of candied ginger to suit your taste preferences. For a stronger ginger flavor, add more ginger, or for a milder taste, reduce the amount.
• Decorate: Garnish the frosted cake with additional candied ginger pieces or lemon zest for a decorative touch and extra flavor.
• Pairings: This ginger icing pairs wonderfully with a variety of cakes, including spice cakes, gingerbread cakes, and even chocolate cakes for a unique twist on classic flavors.
