From what little research I did, Shoofly Pie is basically Streuselkuchen but with brown sugar/molasses? As somebody who loves regular Streuselkuchen I can't really imagine having molasses in it, that sounds just too sweet.

AFAICT shoofly pie is basically just layers of streusel (made with butter or shortening) and molasses with leavening, so…Streuselkuchen minus the Kuchen (egg/yeast).
When I was about 6 I thought very highly of it. Now that I'm 30, even thinking about it makes me feel a little ill.
