   1. Butter and flour a 12-cup tube pan. Preheat oven to
   350 degrees F. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and
   nutmeg together.
   
   2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add
   eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg is
   added. Stir in vanilla.
   
   3. Stir half of the sifted flour mixture into the
   butter-sugar mixture. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk. Add
   the other half of the flour mixture, then the
   remaining buttermilk.
   
   4. Pour batter into prepared tube pan and bake until a
   wooden skewer inserted 2 inches from edge comes out
   clean (about 1 hour and 5 minutes). Cool cake in pan
   10 to 15 minutes; invert onto a cooling rack, remove
   pan, and cool completely before serving. Transfer to a
   serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
