Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | ounces | Butter |
| 4 | larges | Eggs |
| 14 | ounces | Honey |
| 14 | ounces | Unbleached All-Purpose Flour |
| 1 | teaspoon | Cinnamon |
| 2 | teaspoons | Baking Powder |

Directions
Cream the butter and separate the eggs. Add the room temperature yolks, one at a time, to the butter and beat well. Mix in the honey.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and spices twice and add to the butter mixture. Whip the egg whites until stiff. Fold a little of the egg whites into the batter, then add the rest of them, folding them gently into the batter. Pour the batter into a guttered and floured loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350 Degrees F. oven until firm on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Cool, in the pan, for 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on a wire rack. From: Earl Shelsby Date: 04-08-95 (11) Cooking
