I tried a new recipe this week. I found it over at the Family Balance Sheet blog. It has no eggs, was super simple to make and was a big hit with all of my family. I am so happy that my kids like molasses.

Combine the molasses, baking soda and boiling water. While it cools, mix together the remaining four ingredients in a separate bowl with a pastry blender or fork until it has a crumbly texture. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture. Mix the molasses liquid with the flour mixture. Pour batter into a greased 9 X 13 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top of cake and bake about 15 minutes more or until toothpick comes out clean. (Note: In the future, I will add the crumb mixture to the cake and skip the topping…the cake was delicious and didn’t need it.)
