Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 1 cup cake flour
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ¼ teaspoon ground mace (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Allow butter to reach room temperature. Cream sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add in flour, powdered milk, and corn syrup. Beat each in well. Add juice of half a lemon, salt, vanilla, nutmeg and mace. Make sure everything is well blended, and pour into a greased loaf pan.

Step 2

Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean. You almost want to underbake this.
