  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 cup molasses

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease a 9”x9” cake pan. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together. Stir in the raisins and ginger. Set the mixture aside.
  • Heat the molasses, brown sugar and butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. When the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
  • Stir the molasses mixture into the flour mixture and blend the ingredients thoroughly. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the milk. Pour the batter into the pan.
