Gingerbread with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 11x7-in. baking dish.
• Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy; beat in egg, molasses, water and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together flour, spices, salt and baking soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Transfer to prepared dish.
• Beat cream cheese, lime zest, lime juice and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until blended; cover and reserve 3/4 cup mixture for frosting. Drop remaining mixture by tablespoonfuls over batter; cut through batter with a knife to blend slightly (mixture will not swirl).
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in cake portion comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Spread with frosting; sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate leftovers.
