Step 1

Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 1/4 c. of this mixture to use as a topping.

To the remaining mixture, stir in the cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and cloves. Add nuts. Add buttermilk and stir just until moistened.

Pour into a greased 9x13" pan. Sprinkle with reserved topping. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees or until cake tests done. Serve warm.
