3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup milk and ½ teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice; let stand for 10 minutes.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the sour milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
7. Stir in 1 cup Crosby's molasses.
8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
