Ingredients for 1 2 3 4 Cake

How to Make 1 2 3 4 Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
3. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, creaming for 6-8 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups cake flour and 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/white vinegar).
6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
8. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
9. To remove air bubbles, gently tap each pan 3-4 inches above the countertop several times.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Let cakes cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
12. Once completely cool, frost the layers with your favorite frosting to create a delicious three-layer cake.
