Slow as Molasses
I now know where that saying comes from...this month's Cake Slice Baker's selection from our new book, Vintage Cakes, was a Shoo-Fly Cake. Kind of like a gingerbread cake with a crumb topping. It's made with molasses, 3/4 of a cup... In the time it takes to get that much to pour out of a bottle, you could give yourself a pedicure, it is sloooooooooowwwwww...
It smelled good and it looked good, but I'm not much of a fan of the way molasses or gingerbread tastes, so I decided to bake it in a disposable pan and deliver it with dinner today to a sweet older lady in our church who has been under the weather. I hope she likes it!
Recipe here.
I am sure she'll love it! Looks delicious! So happy it turned out well! Loved the "pedicure comment" LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to pass it on - I'm sure it will brighten her day!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the smell of molasses but I live the taste. I'm sure your friend will live the cake! :) and yes, molasses us very slow, which is why I didn't use and entire 3/4 cup. I got tired of pouring it from the bottle.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful shoo-fly cake there! Pity you did not fancy the main ingredients but 5Stars to you for still baking it and gifting it! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI loved the way your cake turned out! It looks pretty :):)
ReplyDeleteCake are so nice. my mouth watering seeing the cake.
ReplyDeleteYour cake turned out very nice looking and I bet your friend enjoyed it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the lady enjoyed the cake. Looks stunning and I love your baking dish x
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gesture. I am sure it was much appreciated. I am also not a big fan of molasses so I probably should have done the same thing.
