2 cups of Domino Sugar (one white and one dark brown)

1 cup Brer Rabbit Green Label baking molasses
2 cups warm water
1 TBSP Arm and Hammer baking soda

liquid. Grease and flour long cake pan 13 by 9 by 2. Pour mixture into
the baking pan. Sprinkle the one cup of saved crumbs over top of the
cake before baking.
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Test if it's done using a
toothpick. Poke cake with toothpick after 1 hour. If toothpick comes
