Molasses Cake - Old timey, 100-year-old recipe from the Home Comfort Wood Stove Cookbook!
This Molasses Cake recipe was published in my great-grandmother's "Home Comfort Wood Stove Cook Book." The company started producing wood stoves before the end of the Civil War. This copy of the cookbook comes from the early 1930s, but no doubt, this recipe goes back to the 1800s. Molasses Cake is a very old, traditional southern dessert. I've tried other Molasses Cake recipes but I love the flavor of this one. The baking instructions were written for a wood stove so you'll have to determine the best time and temperature for your liking, but I'll publish the recipe below exactly as it was printed in the cookbook.

⚠️ Also, I noticed while typing up this recipe that I read the baking time wrong! I baked this too long anyway. Even 40 minutes would've been enough by this recipe. I thought it had said 45-55 minutes. 🤦🏻♀️ Still, in the future, I'll start checking this at around the 30 minute mark for doneness.
