Connecticut is known as the nutmeg state, so it certainly makes sense to bake a nutmeg cake!

The nutmeg cake is a really easy recipe that you can whip up in a flash. Not to mention it's the perfect amount of nutmeg. It's not overpowering!
You can bake the cake in a loaf pan, so it's more of a loaf cake. Baking it in a cake pan also is fine. Square and circle cake pans work equally great. While this is optional, you can create a sugar syrup soak to help your cake be even moister and sweeter.
Even though the cake doesn't have any frosting and looks plain, the nutmeg really shines through. If you want to make the cake extra special you can dust the top with powdered sugar.
