MACE CAKE
Author: Tag Sale Tastes
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 2-1/2 cups sugar, divided use
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon ground mace, divided use
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9 x 13" baking pan.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs with 2 cups sugar in a large bowl. Beat at high speed until tripled in volume and thick enough to form a ribbon when beater is lifted, 7 to 8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 14 to 16 minutes with a hand held mixer.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon mace.
  4. Bring milk and butter to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in hot milk mixture until combined. Batter will be thin (like pancake batter).
  6. Stir together remaining ½ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon mace in a small bowl.
  7. Pour batter into prepared baking pan and sprinkle evenly with mace sugar. Bake until lightly golden, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack at least 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
