"Her Mom clipped this one and makes it periodically for Thanksgiving as a cake with cream cheese frosting. She liked hers with a gentle dusting of powdered sugar. The clip is so old and yellowed she couldn't figure out which President was a fan of this bread. John Quincy Adams has a really similar one with ginger and no cloves. Cloves showed up in a lot of 1920s recipes so this was probably a go to recipe at the White House."
