Directions

  1. Beat 3 cups confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frosting is smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing cake.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  3. Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until smooth. Stir 2 tablespoons ginger, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and salt into brown sugar-butter mixture until incorporated.

  4. Beat flour and baking powder into brown sugar-butter mixture until batter is smooth, fold in 3/4 cup dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cake completely, 4 hours to overnight. Remove frosting from refrigerator 1 hour before frosting the cake.

  6. Spread frosting evenly over cake, sprinkle with 1/4 cup dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons ginger.

  7. Whisk 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and cream together in a bowl until smooth, drizzle over frosted cake. Cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

  8. Cut cake in half lengthwise and each half into 8 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half diagonally, creating 16 triangle-shaped bars.
