SOFT MOLASSES GINGER-BREAD.
Six cups full of flour, two of sugar, two of molasses, one of milk, two of butter; beat the sugar and butter together, to which add four eggs well beaten; then add one dessert spoonful of cloves, and three of good ginger, and the molasses and flour, till all is mixed; dissolve one teaspoonful of soda and three of cream of tartar,—each in half a cup full of milk, which mix in just before you put it in the oven. This cake will take at least an hour and a half to bake.
