1/4 pound or 1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup cake flour
2 tablespoons dry powdered milk
1 tablespoon corn syrup
juice of half a small lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon mace (optional)
Allow butter to reach room temperature, if you can try to use unsalted butter. 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. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes, checking done by inserting a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean. You almost want to under bake this.
