Molasses cake for Marie

As Summer is winding down, we have had our last few road trips. Most recently we went to upstate New York and while we were there I was fortunate enough to spend the day with our very good family friend Marie. Walking into Marie's home is always a huge comfort, this trip was no different we walked in to smell a Molasses Cake in the oven, games were out waiting to be played, we enjoyed the hammock in the back yard along with the wooden swing tied to the big tree and relaxed. Although my family could not eat the Molasses Cake, it made me want to create my own....so I did and it came out great!

Molasses Cake for Marie:

1/3 C of oil
1/3 C of water
1/4 C molasses
1/3 C sugar
Egg Replacer/ 4 tsp dry + 4T water

3/4 brown rice flour
1/8 C potato starch flou
1/8 C tapioca flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

 mix by hand for 1-2 minutes.
