Ohh, I'm going to have to try this one (especially since it sounds so quick & easy to prep).. My hubby LOVES molasses, as do my BIL & one of my nephews. Also like the sounds of your Breakfast Cake - may have to try that one for myself.

Do you ice your molasses cake, sprinkle it with powdered sugar or let it be?

Thanks for sharing Sara!
