Preparation
Step 1
1. reheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center. Cool completely before frosting.
Note: If you want to use powdered buttermilk, add the powder to the dry ingredients, and then add 1 cup water at the time for the liquid buttermilk. I use the powdered kind because it keeps for a long time.
