12 lb unsalted butter, softened, plus a little more for greasing the pan
½ cup fresh breadcrumb
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
Preheat the oven to 350*.
2
Butter an 8- or 9- inch tube pan and sprinkle with bread crumbs; invert pan over the sink to remove excess crumbs.
3
Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and spices and set aside.
4
Use an electric mixer to cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, 5 minutes or so.
5
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until well blended.
6
Add the vanilla and beat another 30 seconds.
7
Add the dry ingredients all at once; mix by hand only until they are well incorporated.
8
Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
9
Bake 45 minutes before checking; the cake is done when it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in its center comes out clean.
10
Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
11
Run a knife between cake and pan, cover the pan with a rack, and invert the rack and pan.
12
Cool before serving, plain, with whipped cream, or sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
