Master the classic 1-2-3-4 Cake, a timeless dessert named for its perfectly proportioned ingredients: 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs. This traditional recipe yields a moist, tender cake with a fine crumb and balanced sweetness. The addition of buttermilk creates a subtle tang while enhancing the cake's velvety texture. Baked in a tube pan for even cooking, this versatile cake serves as the perfect canvas for your favorite frostings or simply dusted with powdered sugar.
