1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
3/4 c. molasses
2 3/4 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. buttermilk or sour milk

Blend sugar, butter and eggs. Stir in molasses. Add combined dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk; beat well. Spread in a well greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream or applesauce. Good all by itself too.
