Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 c soft butter
1/4 c crisco shortening
1 1/2 c sugar
3 beaten eggs
2 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp nutmeg
1 c buttermilk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
FROSTING
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp milk, or heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, shortening and sugar until well blended. Add the eggs and beat well.
  • 2. Sift together the flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
  • 3. Add the flour mixture to the shortening mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Ending with flour. Blend in the vanilla.
  • 4. Spread into prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 - 35 minutes, or until cake is golden and tests done with a pick. Cool and serve with frosting or as my Gram did, with a pat of butter while warm.
  • 5. Frosting: - If you like a lot of frosting you may want to double the recipe...I just frost as served... Whip the cream cheese on high for 1 minute until fluffy. Add vanilla and slowly stir in the confectioner's sugar. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency. The icing will be thick but pourable.
