Instructions: Cream butter and sugar until crumbly, add flour. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture. To the rest of the mixture, add the milk (into which you have dissolved the baking soda). Add the spices and mix, then add egg. Put in greased pan, such as a loaf pan or square cake pan that you might use for brownies. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture over the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes until tester comes out clean.

Note: This is not a sweet cake, but it is pleasantly spicy. It isnt a high rising cake, which is why its prepared in a smaller pan.
