Sift dry ingredients together. Add the cooled molasses and sugar mixture and stir. Stir in the well-beaten eggs.
Pour into a generously-greased and floured 9 x 12 inch baking pan. Bake in a 350˚F oven for 25 to 35 minutes. The dark sugars and syrups tend to burn easily, so watch the cake closely for the last 5 minutes.
Serve warm or cooled with whipped cream, cream cheese frosting or my apple butter.
