Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2") loaf pans. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.

In large mixing bowl, at high speed, beat eggs until light. Add sugar gradually, beating until fluffy. At low speed, beat in buttermilk and molasses. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture.
