Black Strap Molasses Cake Recipe

Black Strap Molasses Cake

From darqueangel27 16 years ago

This is an old receipe that has been passed down through our family. *hint* You really need the good thick Molasses when making it.

Cream the Shortening and Sugar together and then blend in the beaten Egg.
Mix the dry ingredients (Flour, Baking Soda, and Salt) in a different bowl and set the mixture aside.
Measure 1 cup of Hot Water and combine 1 cup of Molasses with Hot Water in measuring cup.
Alternately add the dry and Molasses mixture to the Shortening and Sugar mixture in small quantites and stir constantly.
Blend all Ingredients well, until the batter is smooth.
Pour into a greased and floured Turks Head or Bundt pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
The top of the cake can be garnished with powdered sugar.

This looks fun and easy. Any secret ingredients you add to this to make it extra special? You know, family secret kind of stuff?

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.
