Gingerbread Loaf

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2/3 cup unsulfured molasses
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon then set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy - on medium speed. Beat in the egg and continue beating until combined. In another small bowl combine the molasses and milk. Remove the butter mixture from the mixer. Alternate adding the flour and milk mixtures to the butter mixture. Fold the batter together with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until done. Let cool. Remove bread from the pan and wrap for a later date or serve hot!
