MACE CAKE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 13- by 9-inch baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
• Beat eggs with 2 cups sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer at high speed until tripled in volume and thick enough to form a ribbon that takes 2 seconds to dissolve into batter when beater is lifted, 7 to 8 minutes in a stand mixer or 14 to 16 with a handheld.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon mace.
• Bring milk and butter to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, then remove from heat.
• Add flour mixture to egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in hot milk mixture until combined (batter will be thin).
• Stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon mace in a small bowl.
• Pour batter into baking pan and sprinkle evenly with mace sugar. (Sugar will form a crust as cake bakes.) Bake until pale golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool cake in pan on a rack until warm, at least 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
