Method

Set oven at 350 degrees and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cream butter, add sugar gradually and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and continue to cream. Next add flour, which has been sifted together with baking powder and salt, alternately with milk. Beat until combined after each addition. Remove about one-third of the batter to another bowl. Add spices and molasses to this one-third of the batter and stir to combine. Drop batters by tablespoons into greased loaf pan, alternating light and dark mixture. Swirl. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes, then remove. Serve plain or frost with your favorite icing.
