Categories     Dessert     Molasses

Yield 2 9" square cake pan

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups sifted flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/3 cup molasses
5 ounces lard (1/2 cup + 2TBS) [I substituted crisco]
5 ounces margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cup water
1 1/3 teaspoon soda
cream cheese whipped with a little milk
hot lemon sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Mix brown sugar, salt and shortening until well blended. Add sifted flour and blend well using no. 1 speed on mixer. This makes a dry crumb mix. 2. Mix water and soda together, and add to molasses. 3. Make crust in oblong cake pan or 2 9" square cake pans. Use part of crumb mixture, patting down firmly until about 1/4 " thick 4. Arrange crumbs and molasses mmixture in alternate layers. Sprinkle crumbs loosely over botom crust. Add 1/2 molasses mixture, more crumbs, rest of molasses, and top with crumbs. 5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. 6. Top with whipped cream cheese and hot lemon sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your coffee cake will taste. This is especially true for the coffee, which should be freshly brewed and strong.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the coffee cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the coffee cake cool before serving: This will give the cake time to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the coffee cake with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, glaze, or whipped cream.
