1 cup Molasses
1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
2 cups Boiling Water
4 cups Flour
2 cups Light Brown Sugar
2/3 cups Butter, At Room Temperature
1/4 teaspoons Salt

Directions

1

Combine the molasses, baking soda and boiling water. Let it cool while you mix together the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. This flour mixture will have a crumb texture. Set aside about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of this crumb mixture.

Combine the two main mixtures together in the largest of the two bowls. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes in a 13 x 9 pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top of the cake and bake for about 15 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
