"OLD"- FASHIONED MOLASSES MARBLE CAKE
This is a very old recipe..I inherited a ton of recipe books, handwritten recipe cards, and a ton of recipe clippings..as I was looking through an old recipe book( 1941 ) this newspaper clipping fell out of it..I had been through this book before but apparently not very thoroughly..it sounded interesting and deliscious..so I...

Steps:
- 1. FOR THE LIGHT PART: cream butter and sugar until moist, add vanilla. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with milk.. , then fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.. Set aside..
- 2. FOR THE DARK PART: cream 1/2 cup brown sugar with 1/4 cup butter, add 2 beaten egg yolks and 1/4 cup dark molasses and stir thoroughly. Sift together 1&1/4 cups flour, 1/4 tsp.baking soda and 1/4 tsp.salt, and add alternately with 4-6 tbsp. Milk to creamed brown sugar, etc.
- 3. Put dark and light mixtures by large spoonfuls into greased ( floured ) tube pan, alternating the mixtures. Bake at 350° for 1hour.( 20 min. If using normal size bundt pan).
- 4. My suggestion is to double the recipe for a normal sz. Bundt pan..
- 5. When cool, spread with:
- 6. PEANUT BRITTLE FROSTING
- 7. Cream 6 tbsp. Butter With 2tbsp. Cocoa or 1 square chocolate, melted, and 3 cups confectioners sugar, blend with 2 tbsp. Hot coffee and beat til of spreading consistency. Spread over cake and sprinkle liberally with crushed peanut brittle..
- 8. NOTE: I wasn't able to frost this, as my family wouldn't let me..it is good enough on its own..it has a sweet taste and dense texture..like a cross between an angel food cake and a sponge cake..( I think ).. So if you try this and frost it,, let me know and by all means post a picture if it..also.. Not sure but I think maybe a little baking powder added would be beneficial..hope you enjoy..I always find very old cake recipes fun and a challenge.
