Y’all remember that Seinfeld episode where Elaine professes that the muffin tops are the only worthy part of a muffin?

Well… Fannie Farmer may have solved Elaine’s muffin woes (muffins sans “stump”).  Fannie’s molasses drop cakes have the exact texture of a muffin top.

Now that we’ve solved all the important problems of a fictional character, let’s move on to Fannie Farmers recipe.
