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.
