Combine sugar and vanilla in a heavy saucepan with 1/2 cup of water. Add plantain slices and cook over medium heat until tender. Drain well. Layer drained plantain slices over the bottom of the baking dish. Set aside.
Combine flour, salt, baking soda and spices in a bowl. In a clean saucepan, bring butter and molasses to the boil.
