Preparing the Batter
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9‑inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; this ensures even distribution of leavening agents. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—about 3‑4 minutes—so that air is incorporated for a tender crumb.
