The 1-2-3-4 recipe is one that Mother used to use all the time, as easy as a cake mix...but better

Cream the sugar and butter together and add eggs 1 at a time mixing after each one.

begin to put in flour and alternate with the milk...until you have a well mixed batter that is rather stiff..

pour into a 9 x 13 pan..I prefer glass

and cook for about 40 to 45 minutes. test with a broom straw. if you put in and it comes out clean...it is ready.
