Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan; set aside.
In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluff, 2 to 34 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine 2 c. flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk. Mix just until blended after each addition. Add vanilla, stirring to combine. Set aside.
