Preheat oven to 350F. Butter an 8-inch square or 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
In a large bowl, beat the egg into the molasses, then add to the butter mixture.

Dissolve the baking soda in the hot coffee, then add it to the batter. Beat vigorously until well blended.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Top with powdered sugar or cool whip.
