Spread the love

I wanted to bake molasses Pound cake waswlong time pending in my to do list of baking new cakes but I was not able to get molasses in the local market and then I biubou it from Amazon India. Molasses gives the cake jaggeey like taste. I never used jaggery in any of my cakes but I felt jaggeej would also give the taste if used. But you cannot simply replace molasses in this recipe. I will make a jaggery cake soon and post one.
Let’s come back to the molasses Pound cake. This cake came out really soft and melted in my mouth. I pretty scared of baking a cake with molasses first but I definitely wanted to give it a try and to my surprise in came out really good. I would say this would be really good if you want to use your favorite icing on top of it. I loved this recipe because this again have very few ingredients but the main ingredient was molasses.
