1/2 cup molasses
1 cup water
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Mix molasses and 1 cup water. Cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes; beat in egg white and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices; add to creamed mixture alternately with molasses mixture, beating well after each addition. Fold in pecans.
Pour into a greased 3-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Mix hot water and melted butter; pour over batter (do not stir).
