Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Sift the flour, baking powder & salt together onto a piece of wax paper & set aside.
Step #2 Cream together the butter, sugar, nutmeg, lime rind, cinnamon & allspice until silvery & light—no sugar grains should be discernible on the tongue when the mixture has been properly creamed.
Step #3 (This may take as long as 5 mins at high mixer speed.
Step #4 ) Beat the eggs in, one at a time.
Step #5 Now add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning & ending with the dry.
Step #6 (I usually mix the flour in - in about five separate additions & the milk in - in three.
Step #7 ).
Step #8 Spoon the batter into a well buttered & floured 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan, pushing the batter well to the corners & smoothing the surface as much as possible.
Step #9 Bake in a slow oven 300F F for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs or until the cake begins to pull from the sides of the pan & leaves an imprint that vanishes slowly when you press the top this with your fingers.
Step #10 Remove the cake from the oven, stand the pan upright on a wire rack & allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 mins.
Step #11 Loosen the cake around the edges with a thin-blade spatula, turn out on a wire rack & cool to about room temp.
Step #12 To serve, slice just as you would lb cake.
