What fun to see this, from l-o-n-n-g ago. To Greta: This was a recipe for wartime rationing. In WW2 sugar was rationed to the public and one needed food ration coupons to buy a limited amount; molasses and corn syrup were plentiful and I believe one could buy all of that and without coupons. Not sugarless really; but coupon-less, which was very good in those days. And it sounds a bit like a reworking of a practical Depression-era cake recipe, too. It might have been an old Oklahoma hand me down recipe, too, because Jennifer was born there I believe.

I surely love that kitchen! I miss kitchens like that. The cake sounds good too.

I wouldn’t exactly call corn syrup and molasses “sugarless!” Cake sounds good though, but i’d pair it with a cream cheese frosting.
