4 oz butter
4 lg Eggs
14 oz Honey
14 oz Unbleached All-Purpose flour
-; 3 Cups
1/2 ts Ground Ginger
1/2 ts Ground Nutmeg
1/2 ts Ground Cloves
1 ts Cinnamon
2 ts baking powder
Cream the butter and separate the eggs. Add the room temperature yolks,
one at a time, to the butter and beat well. Mix in the honey. Sift the
flour, baking powder, and spices twice and add to the butter mixture. Whip
the egg whites until stiff. Fold a little of the egg whites into the
batter, then add the 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.
