Orange Ginger Loaf

1/2 c. of milk, lukewarm

1 tsp. baking soda

3 c. unbleached white flour

1 tsp. cream of tartar

1/2 c. butter, melted

1/2 c. molasses

1/2 c. honey

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 Tbsp. fresh, minced ginger

Pinch of cayenne

3 eggs, beaten

Grated rind and juice of 1 orange

Thoroughly mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and then blend the two together before pouring into a well-greased bread pan. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees F. When cooked, a toothpick inserted into the loaf should come out dry.
