Ingredients

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup unsulphured molasses

1/2 cup hot water

1/4 cup blackstrap molasses

Surprises--non- meltable! -- for hiding inside cake (optional):

?? a clean coin

?? a small polished ring

?? a ring

?? a small gold or silver charm

Yogurt or ice cream (optional)

Directions

Preheat the over to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine both flours and baking soda.

Stir n the vegetable oil and the unsulphured molasses.

This mixture will resemble crumb topping.

remove 1 cup of it and reserve.

In a small bowl, combine the hot water and the blackstrap molasses.

Add to the flour mixture in the large bowl and mix well.

Now is the time, if you desire, to stir in any one or more of the non-meltable surprises.

Finding one of them in your piece of cake is good luck--but be sure to warn your eating audience, to prevent accidental choking or broken teeth!

Pour batter into a buttered 9-inch square baking pan, sprinkle with the reserved crumb topping, and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve warm, with a dollop of yogurt or ice cream, if you like.

You could also top this cake with lit candles, one for each person who will be enjoying it.
