Soft Gingerbread

Take one cupful of molasses, one cupful of sugar, one cupful of sour milk, half a cupful of butter, five cupfuls of sifted flour, and somewhat more than half a teaspoonful of soda. Melt the butter in the molasses and sugar, with the soda, add the ginger, and, if you like, a little cloves, the sour milk and flour. The cake should be just stiff enough (a thick batter) to rise nicely in baking and not fall afterwards.
