1-2-3-4 Cake
by Jackie Garvin @ syrupandbiscuits.com/
A historic recipe that traditionally was used for birthday cakes. It’s moist and makes enough batter for three generous layers.
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
3 cups self-rising flour, sifted (I prefer White Lily)
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Cream butter and sugar, using electric mixer, until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time and mix well after each addition.
Alternate adding flour and buttermilk to creamed mixture, mixing only until well incorporated.
Don’t over mix.
Scrape down sides of bowl a few times during mixing.
Stir in vanilla.
Divide batter into three (9 inch) greased and floured cake pans and spread evenly.
Pick up pans slightly and drop on counter 2 or 3 times to remove air bubbles and help level out cake batter.
Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes.
Place on cooling racks to continue cooling.
