These old-fashioned molasses cupcakes were my grandmother's specialty. To keep them from disappearing too quickly, she used to store the tempting goodies out of sight. Somehow, we always figured out her hiding places! -Beth Adams, Jacksonville, Florida

Straight from Amish country in PA. For some reason, friends of mine tht don't care for Shoofly Pie love these. This recipe is different in that it uses NO eggs. If you can keep them around, they taste even better the next day.
