<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Cake:</span></strong><br />
1 cup unsalted butter, melted (2 sticks)<br />
1 1/4 cups firmly-packed light brown sugar </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">3 eggs</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract<br />
1 1/2 cups flour <a href="http://whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/FlourTypes.htm"></a><br />
1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 cup minced dried cranberries (you really need to mince the berries. I whiz them in the food processor for a minute. You want tiny bits but not a paste.)<br />
1 1/2 ounces white chocolate (such as Ghirardelli brand) chips<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #cc0000; font-size: x-small;">Drizzle:<br />
</span></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">The remaining white chocolate chips melted with 1/4 C butter<br />
1 cup sifted powdered (confectioners) sugar<br />
Enough half and half or cream to make the mixture spreadable </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a  9-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper and then grease the paper, or use treated foil. These are sticky. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">To make cake:  In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla;  continue mixing until light. Sift together flour, ground ginger and salt; add to  the butter-sugar mixture. Continue mixing until flour is incorporated. Fold in  dried cranberries and chocolate. Spread the batter in the  prepared pan and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove  from oven and cool completely in pan. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">While it&#8217;s still slightly warm, use an  offset spatula or the back of a large spoon to  uniformly spread the frosting onto top of cake. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span><span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">To serve, slice the cake lengthwise down the  center, making two long rectangles. Cut each rectangle into four equal portions;  slice each of these in half diagonally and then again if you want smaller portions. </span></span></p>
