How to Make Dried Fruit Spoon Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the dried fruits and nuts (if using).
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
