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!
So sweet of you to pass it on - I'm sure it will brighten her day!!
I 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.
You 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!
I loved the way your cake turned out! It looks pretty :):)
Cake are so nice. my mouth watering seeing the cake.
Your cake turned out very nice looking and I bet your friend enjoyed it. :)
I'm sure the lady enjoyed the cake. Looks stunning and I love your baking dish x
What a sweet thing to do for someone, I really hope she enjoyed it, I'm sure it was delicious!
What 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.
