Old-Fashioned Gingerbread

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup dark molasses

Stir together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon and salt; set aside. In large bowl of mixer beat remaining ingredients until well mixed. Stir in flour mixture just to blend, about 25 strokes. Turn into well-greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 45 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack 10 to 15 minutes. Cut in 9 squares; serve warm.

[Magazine clipping. This is not Ada's "Angel Gingerbread" recipe that I have actually tasted and like so well. Perhaps she wanted to try this whole-wheat recipe.]
