Iva's Never-Fail Molasses Cake
3/4 Tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
2 Tsp. baking soda
a little cinnamon, cloves, ginger
1/2 cup molasses
1/3 cup melted lard (or oil)
1 egg
This is a depression era cake from a lady I used to care for. Hence the very old fashioned ingredient of lard...just substitute vegetable oil.
Mix all together well, then add 1 cup of boiling water. Mix well.
Bake at 325" for 45 minutes (or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean) in a small cake pan.
This would be wonderful served with a lemon sauce. |
