This recipe was completely developed by Meaghan. It is not an adaptation or tweak of an existing recipe; she figured it out on her own.
Also, Meaghan learned how to cook from me, so here’s more of a “loose guide” than a recipe. 
about 1/3 c shortening (could be a bit less)
a teensy bit over 1/4 cup sugar (heaping maybe)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Cream all together. Add around 1/2 c of molasses, maybe more. Mix up:
1/4 tsp both cinnamon and nutmeg
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour.
mix that in to the creamed ingredients, alternating with 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk until blended. Line a small loaf pan with foil and pour batter in. Bake at 325-350 (Meg says right in the middle of that for our slightly hot oven) for 40 mins.
Just so you know, getting her to write it down was a real exercise.
Hmmm. Does molasses expire? I think I might have some, but uh, it’s been awhile.
MMMM that sounds lovely. I would be tempted to add ginger (in the style of Jamaican ginger cake).
Sounds tasty! I like things with molasses in. I might try it.
Tigger
Meaghan is my kind of gal! This is just how all of my recipes look! LOL
This sounds great, and I’m always up for a new bread recipe. I’ll have to give it a go tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this!
Oh dear . . . You forgot to put milk on the recipe! You may want to fix that before many people try it . . .
