PA Dutch Shoo-Fly Cake Recipe

If you live in or have ever visited the Lancaster Country area of Pennsylvania, you will find that a lot of Restaurants, Bakeries and Farmer's Markets make and sell homemade PA Dutch Shoo-Fly cakes and pies.
Years ago when I lived down in Lancaster County, a local Mennonite woman shared her delicious Shoo-Fly Cake recipe with me. To this day, it's a family favorite.

Ingredients:
1 cup molasses
2 1/4 cup boiling water
1 Tbsp. baking soda
4 cups flour, unsifted
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1 lb. box/bag brown sugar

In a large bowl, mix together the molasses, boiling water and baking soda; set aside. In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, shortening, salt and brown sugar using a fork or pastry blender until crumbs form. Remove 1 cup of crumbs and set aside.
Mix together the rest of the ingredients (dry and liquid ingredients). Pour batter into a 9x13" baking pan. (do not grease the pan). Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes and then sprinkle on the reserved 1 cup of crumbs.
