Mix together the red River Cereal, whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt and add them to the molasses mixture. Beat hard for 2 minutes. Cover very well and let stand 2 hours or overnight. No need to refrigerate. Grease, paper line and butter a 9 x 5 x 3" loag pan. Turn in batter and smooth top. Bake at 275 F for 1 hour then reduce temperature to 250 F for 1 more hour (2 hours total).
