List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg or mace
  
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
  
• 1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar
  
• 6 eggs
  
• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour (you are supposed to measure after sifting)
  






Instructions



1. Grease and lightly flour or sugar the bottom of a large tube pan; set aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
   
2. Place butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until softened. Blend in nutmeg or mace and vanilla. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar, slowly but incorporating well. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir or fold in flour (you can add flour alternately with the eggs but you don't have to). Pour the batter (it will be thick) into prepared tube pan (10x4 inch) and bake in preheated 325 degree oven until a straw or skewer comes out clean. Generally about an hour or more.
   






Final Comments


This has good flavor and has the crust that many people really like on a pound cake. It will increase in flavor if you bake it a day or two ahead. Never worked for me as my husband loves a pound cake when it comes out of the oven.
