1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle with bread crumbs to coat; remove excess crumbs. Set aside.

2. Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and spices and set aside. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on, add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more.

3. Remove the bowl from the mixer, add the dry ingredients all at once and mix by hand until incorporated. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan; tap the pan against the counter to eliminate air pockets. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. The cake should be golden brown and is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry.
