Preparation

Step 1

Cream the shortening and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the molasses and egg and beat well. Add the rest of the ingredients except the water and mix until combined. Stir in the water. Pour into a 9" x 13" pan and bake at 350 degrees F. for 50 - 60 minutes. I serve it with some applesauce spooned over and maybe a little whipped cream on top!
