14 oz Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- -- 3 Cups
1/2 ts Ground Ginger
1/2 ts Ground Nutmeg

Cream the butter and separate the eggs. Add the room

beat well. Mix in the honey. Sift the flour, baking
powder, and spices twice and add to the butter

rest of them, folding them gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into a guttered and floured loaf pan.
Bake in a preheated 350 Degrees F. oven until firm on
top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean, about 1 hour. Cool, in the pan, for 10
minutes, then remove and finish cooling on a wire rack.
