2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and butter and flour a loaf pan, 9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 3/4 inches, knocking out excess flour.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream shortening with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating batter after each addition until just combined. Stir in raisins.
