Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 eggs at room temp
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp mace optional
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk see notes
Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioner’s icing sugar
- 2 tbs water
Instructions
- Spray a large (at least 10 cups) fluted tube pan with non-stick spray.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, mace and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a heavy-duty stand mixer (batter is thick and may be too much for a hand-held) cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until it’s pale and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Add the vanilla, just until it’s incorporated.
- With mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
- Spoon batter into prepared pan. Tap the pan a few times on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack for 15 minutes then remove the cake from the pan and invert it so the rough, cracked side is facing upward. Cool completely.
- Mix the confectioner’s sugar and water until smooth. Spoon over top of the cake.
