Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, then line with parchment paper. Butter and flour the paper. Sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until it is pale yellow. Add the vanilla and sugar; mix until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Gradually add the flour, being careful not to over-mix the batter. The batter is supposed to be very thick, so don't be alarmed. This will yield a rich, buttery pound cake for breakfast -- what could be finer?!
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Tap it on the counter once or twice to release any air bubbles.
- Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to continue cooling.
- Once the cake is completely cool, dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
Notes
- If you're enjoying cake a day (or more) later, reheat the leftovers to give the slices a nice, soft texture. Seriously -- it tastes like a warm donut! Just loosely cover an individual slice and microwave for 15-20 seconds (or until warm). You can dust with additional powdered sugar, if necessary.
