Grandmother made this cake on demand (using the word lightly). We had some of our best conversations while she was preparing it or while we were sharing it, slice to slice. She called it 1-2-3 Cake, but I've learned most call it 1-2-3-4 Cake. I have two other versions of this recipe (posted in comments), both using plain milk, white sugar only, baking powder instead of soda, AND one using almond extract. I tried adding almond extract to my grandmother's version, which seemed to make the cake taste more authentic to hers. I'd love to convert this into a cookie recipe.
