2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon allspice

1 1/3 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup Crisco

3 large eggs

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan or 2 8 in. round cake pans. Measure all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Blend for 30 seconds on low speed. Scrape sides of bowl down. Blend on high speed for one minute, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into prepared pans. Smack pans gently on counter to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake 9x13 for 45 minutes; 8 inch rounds for 30-40 minutes or until wooden toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Frost cake with your favorite frosting.
