I found this recipe, however, for Shoofly Cake that is scrumptious! I'm embarrassed to say how long it lasted...or not!
Give it a try...I don't think you'll be disappointed!
*this is especially good when enjoyed warm, right out of the oven...
SHOOFLY CAKE
4 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups boiling water1 cup molasses (regular baking molasses...not Black Strap!)
2 tsp baking soda
1. Combine flour, brown sugar and butter until crumbly. Reserve 1 ½ cups crumbs for topping.
2. Combine boiling water, molasses and baking soda. Stir into remaining crumbs and mix well. Pour into floured baking pan. Sprinkle with 1 ½ cups reserved crumbs.
3. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

ReplyDeleteYum! I'm going to have to give that a try!! BTW - I never did pie crusts either until a friend taught me how mix the dough using my food processor... all the guess work is gone. :)

ReplyDeleteI hope you all enjoy it every bit as much as we did! :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this recipe. I have never made shoofly pie or shoofly cake. I'll bet with the combination of the brown sugar and the molasses it is really good!
ReplyDeleteTrying this now. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAm a lifelong Lancaster Co girl myself, looking for a recipe for this cake for my mom's birthday. Just took it out of the oven and had to try a bite. VERY MOIST and YUMMY! Thanks for the recipe, it's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteFrom York County... this was the perfect quintessential PA holiday cake for a snowy weekend. Served with whipped cream. Thanks for the delicous recipe. The house smells wonderful. Or should I say "wonderful good?"
