Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the molasses, lard, salt, and raisins. Stir in the boiling water until smooth. Sift together the flour, ground ginger and baking soda. Stir the flour into the molasses mixture until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan,
- Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the icing by simmering together the brown sugar and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Pour the syrup into a bowl, add the butter, and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture begins to thicken, then set aside and allow to cool.
- Once the frosting and cake are both cool, spread the icing on the cake and serve.

HONEY MOLASSES LIGHT RYE BREAD FOR A KITCHENAID
This is a wonderful recipe for an everyday rye sandwich bread. The crumb is perfect. It's not too heavy and not too airy. It's just right. Slices into nice, even, thin slices ideal for sandwiches or toast. After it cools to the touch, I wrap loosely in aluminum foil, with the bread's ends exposed. When fully cool, slice and bag....

Steps:
- 1. Place honey, molasses, salt, butter, caraway, (if using) and boiling water in small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
- 2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm honey mixture, rye flour and 1 cup AP flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl, if necessary. (Never go above speed 2 when making bread dough.)
- 3. Continue on speed 2, adding remaining AP flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl or about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes longer. **From KitchenAid: "Some doughs may occasionally climb over the collar of the hook. This usually indicates that the dough is sticky and more flour should be added."
- 4. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with sprayed saran wrap. Let rise in warm place, free from drafts, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
- 5. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover. Let rise in warm place free from drafts, 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
- 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. (Mine didn't take this long.) Cover loaves with aluminum foil if they are browning to quickly. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool completely on wire racks. Brush tops with melted butter. *See my hint at top about cooling when just warm to the touch in loose foil. It retains moisture.
