Ginger Cake with Spice

Three eggs, one cup butter, two of flour, one of sugar, scant half cup molasses, with half a tea-spoon soda stirred in it until it foams, half a wine-glass of brandy, half a table-spoon of ginger, a half of cinnamon, and a half of cloves and allspice mixed. Mix ingredients, leaving whites of eggs until last; next to last, molasses. Fruit may be added.
