Raspberry Coffee Cake

This is Meredith Wilson's recipe that has been served at showers and I made it for the fondue breakfast, for those of you who stayed.

2 C flour
3 oz
1 T baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ C butter
¼ C shorting
½ tsp salt
½ C raspberry jam
½ - 2/3 C buttermilk

Frosting:
½ C powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla
1-3 tsp milk

In medium bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cream cheese, butter, and shorting until crumbly. Stir in just enough buttermilk to moisten. Knead 5 strokes. Grease center of a baking sheet 4-inch lengthwise strip. Roll dough on waxed paper 8x15 inches and turn on to baking sheet. Spread jam down center and leave 3 inches of dough on either side. Cut ¾ inch strips all the way up to the jam. Fold strips over to create a braid. Bake 425 for 15 min. Mix frosting in a little bowl, drizzle on top of slightly cooled braid.
