Confederate Coffee Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
cinnamon (about 1/2 tsp., as desired)
nutmeg (about 1 tsp., divided, as desired)
chopped nuts - almonds, pecans or walnuts, optional
1 tbsp. butter, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. sugar (I did not add)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream together the 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar. Add milk and unbeaten eggs, mixing well.
Sift the flour and baking powder together - must sift for the right texture. Blend sifted ingredients into the
creamed mixture. Add a dash of nutmeg. Pour into a 9 x 5 bread pan. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg, cinnamon, nuts and sugar. Dot with butter. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes.
