- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 c. dark molasses
- 1/2 c. boiling water
- 2 c. all-purpose unbleached white flour
- 1 t. baking soda

- 1-1/2 t. ground ginger
- 8 oz. container of Truwhip (a healthier version of Cool Whip) or vanilla ice cream, optional for serving
Instructions
Cream butter until fluffy; add sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Stir together boiling water and molasses and add to the butter-egg mixture alternately with the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Pour into a greased and floured 8 x 12 pan and bake at 350 degrees about 35-40 minutes or until done.
