1. Butter and flour a 12-cup tube pan. Preheat oven to
350 degrees F. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and
nutmeg together.

2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add
eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg is
added. Stir in vanilla.

3. Stir half of the sifted flour mixture into the
butter-sugar mixture. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk. Add
the other half of the flour mixture, then the
remaining buttermilk.

4. Pour batter into prepared tube pan and bake until a
wooden skewer inserted 2 inches from edge comes out
clean (about 1 hour and 5 minutes). Cool cake in pan
10 to 15 minutes; invert onto a cooling rack, remove
pan, and cool completely before serving. Transfer to a
serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
