How to Make Frosted Creams
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard jelly roll pan (approximately 10x15 inches).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in ½ cup molasses.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in ½ cup sour milk. Add this mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Frost with a thin layer of powdered sugar buttercream frosting (recipe below).
