This cake smells sooo good. The ginger and spices really give it a nice kick. I'm not a fan of ShooFly pie.. but this cake is a keeper.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9X13 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter
1 3/4 cups boiling water
3/4 cup baking molasses
1 tablespoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Mix the flour, spices, salt and sugars, then cut in the shortening and butter with a pastry blender or similar tool until the mixture is the consistency of fine crumbs.
  • Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.
  • In another bowl, pour the boiling water over the molasses and stir until dissolved.
  • Stir in the baking soda.
  • When the bubbling subsides, add to the dry ingredients and stir until smoothly blended.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Give the pan a good thunk to settle contents, and drag a knife a few times through the center of the batter from the outside to the middle to help the cake rise evenly.
  • Sprinkle with reserved cup of crumbs.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
