Marcia Hassel's Steamed Bread Pudding with sauce

Mix the wet ingredients together:
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup water
1 egg
1 t. vanilla

Mix the dry ingredients together:
1 cup flour
1 t. baking soda
2 cups plain bread crumbs

Mix the dry into the wet and pour into a greased loaf pan.

Put the loaf pan in a larger pan with water going up 3/4 of the sides of the loaf pan.  Cover whole with foil and put on the burner.  Allow the water to come to a boil and then reduce so that it continues to boil.  BOIL FOR 2-2/12 HOURS ON TOP OF STOVE, BEING CERTAIN THE WTER KEEPS BUBBLING.

SAUCE
1 cup brown sugar
4 T butter, softened
4 t. whipping cream

whip these 3 things together.  Heat and pour over the 'pudding' which is more like a loaf cake.  Warm the pudding as well.

SO AMAZING.

This recipe comes from our gardening friend who lives on the SE corner of Ferndale and Lakewood Beach Drive.  Her home and garden is amazing.  All the treats she brings down are even more amazing.  This recipe is one her mom always made. She's become a wonderful friend and I cannot keep up with the sharing of food.  She lives to share.
