1-2-3-4 Layer Cake (“back Of The Box Cake”)
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Butter and lightly flour 3 (9-inch) layer pans.

  3. Sift flour and then lightly spoon 3 cups of the flour into a large measuring cup. Then sift the already-sifted cake flour with the baking powder and salt into a bowl; set aside.

  4. Cream butter in a large bowl. Gradually add sugar, creaming until light and fluffy.

  5. Add eggs one at a time to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.

  6. Add flour mixture alternately with milk and extracts, blending after each addition until smooth. (Do not over beat as this will yield a dry cake.)

  7. Pour into prepared pans.

  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tester inserted into cake comes out clean.

  9. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and finish cooling on racks.

  10. Frost and decorate as desired.
