Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan thoroughly with butter or line it with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and vegetable oil together until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk (dry-wet-dry). Mix on low speed only until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
