#25 Eggless Spice Cake

I chose this recipe because I was searching for a cake recipe to use buttermilk in. Also Dad was coming to lunch and I thought he would like it.

1 cup sour milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp nutmeg.

Cream sugar and shortening. Sift dry ingredients. Add alternately with milk to sugar mixture. Beat well. Pour into greased pan. Bake 375. 45-50 min.

I baked in a glass pan at 350 for 45 min. And that was too long.

I made a cooked icing with butter, confectionery sugar, and Baileys Irish Cream instead of milk because i only had buttermilk. The icing matched well.
