5 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup margarine
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Mix sugar, baking soda, margarine, milk, flour, vanilla extract and baking powder.
Bake 5 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and sprinkle with vanilla extract. Place halfway up the side of the pan.
