Here's another one....it comes directly from a C&H powdered sugar box:
Velvet Pound Cake
2 1/4 cups C&H powdered sugar 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened 1/2 tsp. nutmeg or 1/4 tsp. mace 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon rind or lemon extract 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease 9x5x3" loaf pan. In a large bowl, beat 2 1/4 cups sugar, butter, nutmeg, vanilla and lemon rind until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in flour until smooth. Spread batter in loaf pan and cut through batter several times with a knife to break large air bubbles. Bake 60-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan immediately and cool right side up on a rack. Sprinkle with sugar. (Top of cake will have rough cracks).
