The Shoo Fly Cake- a moist molasses cake #vintage #recipe #cake

Today I am sharing a recipe that is close to a 100 years old, called the Shoo fly cake.

So, I have a serious disease. I am sure most of you food bloggers/lovers out there have it too. Its this obsessive habit of buying cookbooks. Hoarding on cookbooks.

Even before I started blogging or for that matter cooking I had this fascination for cookbooks. The pictures, the recipes, the stories, the techniques – I loved going through it all.

The past few days have been crazy busy but lots of fun nonetheless. I do miss not being able to write on my blog, but I am glad that its been taken care of by some really superb blogger friends of mine: Ameena, Jane, Sawsan and today Leigh from Luv’n Spoonfuls.

Leigh not only has great recipes with beautiful photographs on her blog, but all her recipes have a wonderful balance between flavor and nutrition. I don’t remember now how I stumbled upon Leigh’s blog, but am so glad I did because there is so much to learn about healthy food that tastes great too. You should read her soapbox section on how and why she insists on 100% organic ingredients.

Today, Leigh shares a wonderful Gingerbread cake recipe that not only looks delicious but is packed with stuff that screams good-for-you! 

Thank you Leigh for taking time out for my blog and sharing the perfect recipe for the coming holiday season!

Over to Luv’n Spoonfuls’ Leigh!
