About Molasses

Molasses matches honey's weight (340 g/cup) with a fraction of the sweetness — blackstrap especially, which is concentrated mineral residue rather than sugar. In baking it functions as an acidic liquid: recipes pairing it with baking soda are doing neutralization chemistry, not just flavor. Swap it for sugar at ¾ weight with liquid cuts and a soda boost.
