cinnamon, cloves, pepper. In a large bowl use electric mixer at high speed to beat butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Occasionally scrate the sides of the bowl with a scrapper. At low speed, beat in flour mixture (in fourths) alternately with buttermilk (in thirds) beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until smooth about one minute. Pour batter into prepared pans; bake until surgace springs back when gently touched with fingertips. Layers 30-35 minutes and oblong 45 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. Frost as desired.
