One cup of Porto Rico molasses, one cup of sour cream, two cups of
sifted flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of ginger, one
even teaspoonful of soda, one egg, a little cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg,
two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar. Beat the egg, sugar and spice
together, add the molasses and one cup of flour, then the cream, after
that the other cup of flour with the soda sifted together. It should be
a thick batter, and if not thick enough add a little more flour--not
more than half a cup. Bake in a shallow pan. When done the cake should
be about two inches thick. Ice with boiled icing.
