Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Molasses Crumb Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C). Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a good greasing to ensure your cake comes out easily later on.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix them together until you achieve a crumbly texture that resembles large crumbs. Set aside 2 cups of this mixture in a separate bowl for the topping.
Step 3
Now, in another bowl, stir together the boiling water, molasses, and baking soda. Watch as the baking soda dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth. Pour this delightful concoction into the large bowl with the flour mixture and stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Take the reserved crumb mixture and sprinkle it generously over the top of the batter, creating a lovely crumb layer.
Step 5
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the wonderful aroma filling your kitchen!
