Tips:

  • Choose the right molasses. For the best flavor, use unsulphured molasses, which has a rich, dark color and a slightly bitter taste. If you can't find unsulphured molasses, you can use regular molasses, but it will have a less pronounced flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a hot oven. This will help the cake to rise properly and prevent it from becoming dense.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

Shoo fly cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich molasses flavor and crumbly texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give shoo fly cake a try.
