Shoe Fly Cake

Description
I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country where shoe-fly pie is a specialty. While I like shoe-fly pie, I LOVE shoe-fly cake. It is another one of those recipes that takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother always made it for me because she knew how much I loved it. The starring ingredient in shoe-fly cake or pie is molasses. The cake reminds me of a coffee cake. I like to eat it for a mid-morning snack with coffee.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Molasses
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
- 2 cups Boiling Water
- 4 cups Flour
- 2 cups Light Brown Sugar
- ⅔ cups Butter, At Room Temperature
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
Preparation
Combine the molasses, baking soda and boiling water. Let it cool while you mix together the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. This flour mixture will have a crumb texture. Set aside about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of this crumb mixture.
Combine the two main mixtures together in the largest of the two bowls. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes in a 13 x 9 pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top of the cake and bake for about 15 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
