How to make it
- Grandma was notoriously brief in her instructions.
- She did not give me a pan size, loaf or cake.
- This is a war time recipe and I can't imagine it making a very large cake.
- I'll admit I haven't made it. I was posting for those with more baking experience to comment and give me guidance on the cake with flushed out instructions.

Seems to me it would be mixed as a standard cake recipe. Beating the eggs & sugar until creamy then adding the other ingredients until blended. Thanks for posting. I would need some molasses to try this. I'll let you know when I do.

I'll try this in a loaf pan. I like that there's molasses in the recipe and bet it tastes lovely! Sounds like a really nice cake to have with an afternoon cup of tea or coffee. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
