1/2 c. butter
1 c. honey
1 egg (unbeaten)
1/2 c. sour milk or buttermilk
2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. allspice

Blend butter and honey. Add well beaten egg. Stir in 1/2 cup sour milk or buttermilk, then add rest of ingredients. Mix well and beat until light. Pour into a greased square pan.

Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes and cool. Can also be made into cupcakes, if so desired.

By omitting spices and adding 1/2 cup cocoa and a little more milk or water (enough to make cocoa into a thick paste), this makes a delicious chocolate cake.
