Receta SORGHUM MOLASSES CAKE WITH CINNAMON SAUCE
Posted on November 6, 2011 by The Southern Lady
I use sorghum molasses to make this cake but I am sure you could use any kind of molasses you happen to have on hand.
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup molasses
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup hot water
- Cream together the sugar and butter or margarine. Add egg, and beat well. Mix in molasses. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into 9 inch sprayed pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 55-60 minutes. Cool and serve.
- The sauce I put over this cake can be used over any kind of cake or gingerbread.
- Cinnamon Sauce
- 3/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup water
Melt butter in saucepan on stove. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool and pour over individual servings of cake.
Enjoy!
