2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

2/3 cup unsulfured molasses

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. In a bowl, measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy on medium speed. Beat in the egg and continue beating until combined. Combine the molasses and milk in a small bowl. Remove the butter mixture from the mixer. Alternate adding the flour and milk mixtures to the butter mixture. Fold the batter together with a rubber spatula.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in 350-degree oven for approximately 50 minutes or until done. Let cool. Remove bread from pan and wrap for a later date or serve hot. Enjoy!
