Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Combine eggs, salt, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and ginger in a bowl. Beat to add air and fluff up eggs. Combine sugar and butter in a separate bowl and beat together. Add egg mixture to butter mixture and combine gently.
