Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk and add alternately to the margarine mixture with flour mixture.
