Gingerbread stacked cake

Whew, we did it!


Gingerbread box cake. Seriously, it's yummy and easy. Bake according to directions in a 9-inch round pan, but add about a tablespoon of ginger when mixing things together.

Cream Cheese Frosting
 There are quite a few on-line, we tried several and ended up with this one (see below). Turns out, if you don't add any butter, the frosting will maintain longer. It'll still deflate a bit, but it won't go completely flat. 

8-oz cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups heavy cream

 Combine all but cream into a bowl. Slowly add whipping cream, and mix on high speed. 

Spread thickly along the edges of each layer, with a dab in the middle to keep things steady. Layer the edges with slice strawberries and blueberries (or your favorite fruit). Frost the top thickly, and add whole fruit.
