This sounds soooo good, anything with molasses is good in my opinion. I don't know what shortening is, I'm just going to use olive oil. This is something I will make tomorrow morning, and then let you know how it went. Also I don't own a bunt pan, do you think I could use a spring form pan? I'm going to have to.
