How to Make Lemon Swirl Gingerbread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup lemon curd.
- In a separate large bowl, prepare your favorite gingerbread mix according to package directions (usually adding water, oil and egg).
- Pour half of the gingerbread batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the lemon cream cheese mixture evenly over the gingerbread batter.
- Pour the remaining gingerbread batter over the lemon mixture.
- Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batter to create a marble effect, bringing some lemon mixture to the surface.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
