Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup tomato ketchup
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • cups butter, divided, softened, (3 sticks / 1½ blocks)
  • cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs

For the Frosting

  • 170 grams cream cheese, softened, (6 oz or ¾ of a 8 oz package)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), get out two 9 inch round baking pans and grease with butter or cooking spray, line bottoms with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk together and set aside.
  • In another bowl, add the ketchup, water, and food coloring. Mix together, and set this aside.
  • To another mixing bowl, add ¾ cup butter (1½ sticks) and all the brown sugar, beat with an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time.
  • Alternately add the flour mixture and ketchup mixture, mixing well after each addition until both are mixed into the batter.
  • Pour batter evenly into both prepared baking pans.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pans for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pans and allow to cool on the wire rack until completely cooled.
  • Prepare the frosting by adding the remaining ¾ cup butter (1½ sticks), cream cheese, and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer.
  • Add powdered sugar a little at a time, beating to mix in, until all the powdered sugar is mixed in. Beat on high speed to make the frosting light and fluffy.
  • When the cake has completely cooled, place the first one upside down on a plate, frost the top of that, then place the second cake right side up on top of the first. Frost the sides and top to complete the cake.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy.
