350 F oven for 50 to 55 minutes for the tube pan or 25 to 30 minutes

comes out clean. (For the tube pan, cool on wire rack 15 minutes
before removing cake from pan.) Cool completely. For topping, in a
bowl combine yogurt and the 1 teaspoon crystallized ginger. Cover and
chill several hours before serving. To serve, dollop each serving
wtih the ginger-yogurt topping. Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
