Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar3 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening (we used half butter and half solid shortening)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup chopped dates (or raisins)
1 cup nuts
Instructions:
Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan. In a large bowl combine sugar, flour, spices, and salt. Work in shortening as though for pie dough until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove and reserve 1 cup of crumbs for topping.Add baking soda to buttermilk and stir into remaining mixture. Add dates and nuts while there are still a few dry lumps and continue stirring only until all is moistened.
Pour batter into pan, sprinkle with reserved crumbs, and bake in a 350 degrees F oven until top is browned and a toothpick comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
