The frosting
Instructions
Blanch the grapes. Then, once dried, soak them in mirin and amazake for several hours beforehand.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add: rice bran oil
Add: flour, baking powder, baking soda, gingerbread spice mix.
Add: the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, raisins (golden + currants), grated ginger, and yuzu zest.
Mix again with a spatula.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly oil and flour a baking pan.
- Pour in the batter.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven.
Check whether it is cooked by inserting a knife: it should come out clean.
In a bowl, pour in the Philadelphia cream cheese, add the yuzu juice and softened butter. Mix until you obtain a smooth texture. Then gradually add the icing sugar, continuing to whisk, until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Recipe notes
You can rehydrate the raisins in a little hot tea or warm water to make them softer.
Yuzu adds a wonderfully refreshing note, but you can adjust the amount if you want it to be more subtle.
