It makes 48 servings, so this would be a good recipe for parties,
especially kid’s parties.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together and set aside.
Cream the sugar and shortening together, in a large mixing bowl, until
light and fluffy, using an electric mixer set ad medium speed. Add the
eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla
