Molasses Blueberry cake

Cold Sunday Morning? Want warm comfort food for breakfast?Try this.....

1 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening(not liquid,crisco always seems to work best for me)
2 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking-soda dissolved in 1 cup boiling water
1 tsp ginger
1tsp cinnamon
1 egg
2 cups blueberries (fresh,of course works best,but frozen ain't bad!)
bake @ 350 degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean (or just some blueberry stains on it)

When it is hot and for breakfast-I serve with butter(Maine tradition) others put a dollop of whipped cream on top!
This is not just for breakfast-If you like ginger bread,and blueberries-I am willing to bet-It won't last long! It is one one those things that "Calls you from the pantry!"
