- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt, add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour into a greased 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish.
