1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Add milk alternately with the melted butter mixture. Combine until all the dry ingredients are just moist. The batter will be thin. Bake in a greased 8- x 8-inch pan in oven preheated to 350 F for about 35 minutes or until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan.
