Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups pastry flour
2 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda
¾ cup evaporated milk
¼ cup Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
Glaze
2 Tbsp. melted butter
1 Tbsp. Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
2 Tbsp. evaporated milk
1 cup icing sugar, sifted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease and flour a 10 cup tube or bundt pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking powder and soda.
In a small bowl whisk the milk and molasses.
In a large bowl, cream butter with white and brown sugars. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry.
Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake for about an hour, until the top springs back when lightly touched and the cake is beginning to pull away from the side of the pan.
Cool in pan for about 10 minutes then remove from pan and set to cool. When cooled, drizzle over the glaze.
