Servings: persons

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons lemon extract or vanilla, or 1 teaspoon each lemon extract and vanilla
Confectioners' sugar
Fresh whole strawberries

1
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and set aside.
2
Cream butter until very light and fluffy, then add sugar gradually, creaming all the while.
3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just enough to mix.
4
Combine the milk and the flavoring (lemon, vanilla or lemon and vanilla).
5
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
6
Pour into a well-buttered-and-floured 10-inch tube pan, filling to within about 2 inches of the top.
7
Bake in a 300 degree oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until cake just begins to pull from the sides of the pan and a finger pressed gently on the top of the cake leaves a print that vanishes slowly.
8
Cool cake upright in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out on the rack and cool to room temperature before cutting.
9
Serve as is or garnish, if you like with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and a few red, ripe strawberries
