What could be better on a cold day than a delightful slice of warm cake by the fire?
This is so simple yet so delicious! Serve it with a slice of fruit or bacon or simply enjoy it all by itself.
Begin by creaming 4 heaping tablespoons of butter with 4 heaping tablespoons of sugar. Yes, the recipe says heaping. 
Add 2 eggs (well beaten) to the mixture.
Mix 1 cup of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Add half of this mixture to the butter, sugar and egg mixture. 
Add 1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg and mix well.
Using a whisk, beat 1/2 cup of cider to a froth and add to the mixture. I used some of the cider we pressed on Christmas Day! Perfect.
Add in the remaining flour mixture and beat well.
Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 9 baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until golden brown.
It smells wonderful!
Pour a cup of coffee or tea and eat it while hot. It's very moist and the hint of nutmeg is lovely.
Enjoy it by the fire if you can.
On a chilly morning like this, it's a great accompaniment to bird watching!
