VELVET SMOOTH POUND CAKE 
3/4 c. soft butter
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel or lemon extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. sifted powdered sugar
3 lg. eggs, unbeaten
1 1/2 c. sifted flour

Combine butter and flavorings; gradually beat in powdered sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg, then 1/2 cup of the flour; repeat until eggs are used, then add remaining flour and stir until smooth. Spread batter in a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Cut through thick batter several times with a knife to break big air bubbles. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cake tests done. Remove from pan immediately by gently turning cake onto one side. Cool right side up on a cake rack.
