1 c Brown sugar 2 Eggs, well beaten
1 c Sour milk 1 ts Baking soda
3 c Flour 1 ts Ginger
3/4 c Molasses 1 ts Cinnamon
3/4 c Melted shortening 1/4 ts Salt
Combine eggs, sugar, shortening, and molasses. Sift flour, measure, and
sift with baking soda, salt, and spices. Add alternately with milk to
first mixture. Beat until well blended. If desired 1 cup chopped raisins
may be added to batter. Pour into well-oiled pan. Bake in moderate oven
(375°F) about 40-45 minutes. The loaf may be sliced in 2 layers, and
marshmallows placed close together between the layers. Cut in squares and
garnish with whipped cream. (Soy bean or lima bean flour may be
substituted for 1 cup of the white flour.) Mrs. J. Walker, Kansas City, MO.
