2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
6 eggs
Mace can be substituted for the nutmeg.

Butter and flour 8-cup-capacity baking tin.
Mix flour, cream of tartar, and salt; set aside.
Cream butter, then add sugar, vanilla, and mace. Beat until
fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after each. Blend in flour mixture; do
not overmix.
Spread in tin, and put on lid or lay terry towel over it.
Put in crockpot, cover and bake 3 hours or until cake has

Two secrets for cake-baking in crockpot: use less than 1 c
sugar for every 2 c flour. And use a liner.
