I use sorghum molasses to make this cake but I am sure you could use any kind of molasses you happen to have on hand.
1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 egg 1 cup molasses 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 cup hot water Cream together the sugar and butter or margarine. Add egg, and beat well. Mix in molasses. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into 9 inch sprayed pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 55-60 minutes. Cool and serve. The sauce I put over this cake can be used over any kind of cake or gingerbread. Cinnamon Sauce 3/4 cup butter or margarine 1 cup confectioners sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup water Melt butter in saucepan on stove. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool and pour over individual servings of cake. Enjoy! Click to follow The Southern Lady Cooks on Facebook.

It looks like so Delicious
Judy, that looks so moist and melt-in-your-mouth and just plain wonderful—thank you!
I’m guessing very moist and delicious!!! Wonderful recipe for this great fall weather. Thanks for sharing it….
So perfect for fall!
That looks delicious! I would need to use regular molasses since they do not sell sorghum molasses here, but I imagine that would work. I also want to try your pumpkin cake. It’s a good recipe to try for Thanksgiving. Thanks Judy!
This looks good. Yum!
I made this cake today and it is wonderful! This recipe is deifnitely a keeper. We loved the cinnamon sauce and imagine all sorts of uses for it. The cooking temp and length of time was a little too hot and too long for my oven, so I’ll note that on the recipe I save.
