GREAT-GREAT GRANDMA NEFF'S SOFT MOLASSES CAKE



Great-Great Grandma Neff's Soft Molasses Cake image

My grandmother used to send me recipes in the mail and this is one that I treasure the most. I refer to it as a snack "bread" more than a "cake". Most people love it for the nostalgic feeling they get when their grandmother's made it when they were children. Great for the cold months with it's warm aroma filling your house. Perfect with coffee or tea after dinner.

GRANDMA'S ONE BOWL MOLASSES APPLESAUCE CAKE



Grandma's One Bowl Molasses Applesauce Cake image

My Mom has been making this for 20 years. This is a very dense, moist cake, maybe closer to a pound cake, but that's what I like about it. We added the raisins to the recipe, so you could omit them. I also like to add Walnuts, some day I may also add some coconut. This is great warm or cold.
