1-2-3-4 Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 cups cake flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
*** I halved this recipe and got 12 regular size cupcakes and 24 minis. So this is a big recipe!
Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour three 9 inch cake pans (I used cupcake liners and cupcake pan). In a mixing bowl cream butter and gradually add sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture alternately with milk and flavorings, beating after each addition until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 mins (I baked mini cupcakes for 10 minutes and regular cupcakes for 15 minutes). Cool in pans 10 mins and remove from pans to finish cooling.

Those look great! I love the sprinkles mixed into the frosting.
I'll bet the name comes from the main ingredients in the recipe:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 cups cake flour
4 eggs
That's my guess at least! They look great!
oh wow, Erin...never even noticed that. haha.
YUM!!
I want to try these soon, and you can NOT go wrong with rainbow chip frosting!!
Mmmm. I love cupcakes.
Erin's right, according to what I have read! I've also read it's a fairly old recipe, dating back into the 1800s, I think. Yours are darling!
Kate,
