Basic Ndn Cake....thats what we call it anyways.....we been using this one since my fathers mother was baking for her 12 kids:

1-2-3-4 Cake-- @350F for 20-25 minits

Basically:
1 Cup Butter/Margerine(i have even used Becel Marg)
2 Cups Sugar(i use 1-1/2 and it doesnt get wrecked)
3 Cups of Flour(Personally i use 1-1/2 of white and 1-1/2 of Whole wheat)
4 Eggs(Another change in mine lol- 2 whole eggs and then 2 egg whites)
and then the others:
3 tsp of Baking Powder
1 Cup of Milk
1 tsp of Vanilla
(and today i used 1/2 cup of walnuts in the batter)

-Preheat oven
-Line pan with parchment paper
-Combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl
-Beat butter and sugar in another larger bowl until smooth...add eggs, beating until smooth
alternately beat in four mixture and the milk
-Beat in vanilla
-Scrape into pan/(pans-dividing evenly)
-Bake for 20-25 minits(do the toothpick thing)
-Take out and cool for 10 mints b4 removing from pan
-Make ur fav icing to top...or dust with Confectioner sugar.....or slather more butta on it j/k bout that last part

I stole Stewarts peice to take a pic of.....It got a lil over cooked today...was chatting while it was in the oven lol...and then i got too lazy to make the caramel icing....ya so cake makes me happy...well making it does not the side effect of eating too much of it even with all the changes i make:o)
