Dense, moist, rich, and full of molasses flavor! Almost a brownie in texture; this is a fallen or sunken cake. Try it plain first, before deciding on a frosting (none necessary). This is my husband's favorite cake (unfrosted), and even received rave reviews (and no leftovers!) at a wedding shower I took it to (double recipe and use 3 pans, 30-35 min. bake time), layered with Kittencal's Easiest and Best Caramel Sauce!, and frosted with Cream Cheese Frosting, with strawberry slices in the volcano middle! - this was VERY RICH, so small portions are essential!

2 1/8 cups flour (10.5 oz) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/3 teaspoons baking soda |
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
1/4 cup brown sugar (1.75 oz) |
1/4 cup sugar (1.75 oz) |
1 1/3 cups molasses (not blackstrap!!!) |
1 egg |
1 egg yolk |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 -2 cup white chocolate chips (substitute any chip, chunk or nut) (optional) |
