came out very moist, not too dense but i added baking soda. We liked it very much.

very nice and easy recipe. had no baking soda so i was looking for a recipe that was simple, pretty healthy and no baking soda needed. texture was nice. not gooey like brownies at all; dense but not too heavy...it was still moist. i did cut back on the sugar molasses but next time i wont...i will follow recipe exactly as i feel it could have used it. thanks for sharing...

This cake turned out very dense and chewy, more like a brownie. The molasses flavor was very strong the first day, but mellowed out as the days went on. It was very tasty, and even better served with something creamy like vanilla ice cream or yogurt. A little hint though, make sure to use soft butter, and cream with the sugar before adding other ingredients!
