Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
confectioners’ sugar
Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well (mixture will appear curdled). Combine the flour, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack; cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
