Ingredients:





     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.
