But don\u2019t use regular molasses in this recipe.<\/p>\n<p>It is an extremely dark syrup and it will make your cake look dark also.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients for Sorghum Cakes:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li

general, you can substitute molasses with sorghum but you will need to add more sugar if using molasses, since sorghum is sweeter that molasses. However, I don\u2019t recommend substituting molasses into this recipe.\u00a0 You may end up with a more earthy flavor from the molasses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the difference between sorghum and molasses?<\/h3>\n<p>Both of these sweeteners are made from different plants.\u00a0 Sorghum syrup comes from the sorghum plant but molasses comes from sugar cane.\u00a0 Pure sorghum is sweeter than molasses, and molasses tends to have a more earthy flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What do you use sorghum molasses for?<\/h3>\n<p>Sorghum molasses is a sweetener syrup that can be used in molasses cookies, cakes and is a great substitute for corn syrup.\u00a0 Sorghum molasses is great in pecan pie and other recipes calling for corn syrup with a substitution ratio of 1:1.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
