1-2-3-4 Cake
Index of recipes
This cake is sometimes presented as a typical American recipe. It
is nearly identical to the recipe for the "typically British"
pound cake, and the "typically French" quatre-quarts.
The name comes from the amounts of ingredients needed for its
preparation, which follow the 1-2-3-4 pattern (more or less).
