• 1 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 c. flour
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. cloves
• 1/2 tsp. ginger
• 3/4 c. milk
• 1/2 c. chopped nuts

Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, and beat the eggs and add them. Sift the flour, baking powder, and spices together. Add the milk and dry ingredients alternately, fold in the nuts, pour into a loaf-cake pan, and bake in a moderate oven.
