    List of Ingredients




    3 eggs
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup molasses
    1 cup shortening -- melted
    1 teaspoon cloves, ground
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    2 tablespoons hot water
    2 cups flour
    1 cup boiling water

    Recipe



    Blend eggs, sugar and molasses, add melted shortening and spices. Beat till smooth.

    Dissolve soda in 2 Tbsp of hot water and stir in, sift flour into mixture, beat well. Add boiling water, beat again. Batter will be very thin. Pour into well greased 13 x 9-inch pan.

    Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. While cake is still hot sprinkle with lots of sugar.

    COOKS NOTE: For a real treat sometimes I make butter icing and add a good 1/2 cup of molasses for the frosting, this is really good.
