This wonderful recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. My dad and husband always request it for their birthday cake. When you bake it, the aroma of cinnamon and clove fill the kitchen. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon shortening |
2 tablespoons plus 2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup canola oil |
1 cup buttermilk |
3 eggs |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Grease 10-in. fluted tube pan with shortening; lightly coat with 2 tablespoons flour. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the sugars, oil, buttermilk, eggs and extracts until well blended. Combine the remaining flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and baking soda; gradually beat into the sugar mixture until blended. Stir in pecans.
3. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 12 servings.
