The inspiration from this cake came from Tartine's pumpkin tea cake. I wanted to make a lighter, cake-ier cake, closer to a dessert you'd eat at a dinner party than to a quickbread you'd eat for breakfast. The frosting recipe is based on my idol Dorie Greenspan's Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting.
Oh, yumm... These sourdough tortillas were awesome! Chewy, soft, and pliable! The second day, I heated them up in a warm skillet, one by one, where they retained all their first day softness.
Our assistant, Andrea, wrote this recipe in order to recreate her favorite gingerbread energy bar- we think these are better! ;) Chef's Note: Use ground cloves, depending on your taste buds use 1/4 a teaspoon to 1/2 a teaspoon.
