Recipe Introduction
A Great Recipe all year long but I particularly love this cake during the Autumn & Winter Seasons!
List of Ingredients
Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, 1 egg, 1 cup dark molasses, 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 1/2 cups flour (sifted), 1 cup hot water, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Lemon Curd: 1 cup sugar and 1 cup of lemon juice, 3 eggs, 3 Tablespoons butter.Recipe
Cream shortening and sugar, add beaten egg. Measure and sift dry ingredients. Mix molasses with hot water, add dry ingredients alternately with liquid a little at a time, beating after each addition. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
To make my home made Lemon Curd this is all you need to do: Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of lemon juice to a saucepan over low heat. Using a whisk, mix. Next add 3 eggs. Do not wait long to add the eggs. I add the eggs almost right away. If your sugar & lemon juice mixture are too hot your eggs will curdle and you don’t want that to happen. Therefore, add each egg separately, whisking well after each addition. Then add 3 tablespoons of butter to your mixture. Now continue to mix well using your whisk till the lemon curd has thickened about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. I let the curd cool till warm then I pour it into a pint size jar and cover tightly. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
