I had printed this recipe months ago, and finally decided to try it this weekend. It's a molasses and fresh blueberry cake, made with no sugar and only three tablespoons of butter. Since I am not a fan of super sweet things, I thought this would be a good option to try. The cake is super dark - it looks like a dark chocolate cake, and frankly, it probably would be delicious to eat a barely-sweet chocolate cake with fresh blueberries in it, but I digress! This would be a perfect cake for someone who loves molasses flavor. I don't think I am that person. Admittedly I got blackstrap molasses instead of mild or full flavor molasses, so that could be part of the problem. I think if I made this again - which I might! - I'd get mild molasses and add 1/2 tsp or so of cinnamon to the batter. I knew I was taking a gamble with the blackstrap. Otherwise the cake came out perfectly; it's a really light and moist cake.
