In a small bowl stir water and molasses until blended. Add cooking oil and pour into well. Stir just to moisten. Batter may be lumpy. Fill two greased 28 oz. (796ml) or three 19 oz (540 ml) cans 2/3 full. Cover with foil and secure with string. Place cans on rack in pan  with boiling water halfway up the sides of cans. Cover the pan with a foil tent. Steam in  325 F oven for 2 hours.  Add more boiling water. Keep the water half way up the cans. 

Remove from oven and cool. To remove bread from cans, you may need to run a knife around the can. Great served with cream cheese, butter, cheese. Serve hot or cold.
