Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
- Mix the flour, spices, salt and sugars, then cut in the shortening and butter with a pastry blender or similar tool until the mixture is the consistency of fine crumbs.
- Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.
- In another bowl, pour the boiling water over the molasses and stir until dissolved.
- Stir in the baking soda.
- When the bubbling subsides, add to the dry ingredients and stir until smoothly blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Give the pan a good thunk to settle contents, and drag a knife a few times through the center of the batter from the outside to the middle to help the cake rise evenly.
- Sprinkle with reserved cup of crumbs.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
