Everyday Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup sweet unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated, to taste
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup milk
powdered sugar, as garnish

Preparation

Cream together butter and sugar.
Add eggs, beating in 1 at a time.
Stir in vanilla and grate in a little fresh nutmeg.
Combine dry ingredients (except powdered sugar) together in a separate bowl.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in part of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then add some of the milk, then stir in more of the flour mixture, repeating until everything has been added, beating after each addition by hand.
Pour into a greased cake pan (square 9inch) and bake in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven for about 20 minutes, or until cake tests done.
Let cool, cut into squares, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
