1-2-3-4 Cake 

I love this cake and I really enjoy your show.....thanks for taking the time to show us how it's all suppose to be done. Nobody is cooking the old southern way anymore.

OMGoodness! This is a southern favorite that I hope to make soon. Thank you.

I tried this cake today and it came out perfect...folks just follow step by step and you won't be disappointed.

What a nice, pleasant baking demo. That frosted cake looks so delicious. Wish I could lick the bowls!

I'm from the Caribbean, Trinidad to be exact. I thought it was only us who made the 1 2 3 4 cake. LoL, silly me.

My family makes the 1-2-3-4 cake, too, as a pound cake in a tube pan. I add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder so I can be sure of a little lift; also 1/2 teaspoon salt and a dash of fresh nutmeg. I have never heard of Uzbeck frosting before - that looks so fluffy and luscious! I loved your video - you sure know your way around a kitchen!

thank you so much I sent this to my granddaughter to make. se is 18 and just learning to bake. this was the first cake I was taught to make many years ago. from this receipt I have made hundreds of cakes. I truly enjoyed the video. you have great style.

Thanks a lot Henrietta! My cake turned out wonderful. It was just as golden and beautiful as yours... I decided to use a vanilla bean buttercream frosting (using vanilla bean paste that I had shipped to me). It complimented the cake nicely. Thanks for such a great precise video instruction.

I went to Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia and this lady reminds me of the women in the Soul food restaurants there.

I am SO hungry now! Beautiful cake!

I made this for my family omg so good thanks for the recipe

This 1-2-3-4 cake recipe looks so delicious, 😘 Ms. Henrietta.

Look so good

Mrs. Henrietta, You had my mouth watering for some of that cake. Looks great!

OMG, thank you so very much for your shared dessert recipes. I tried your basic 1-2-3-4 cake and added my own spin on it....Co-workers thoroughly enjoyed it! This was an awesome savings on ingredients vs. what's required for pound cakes. Next, I plan to try your "chocolate-lime-rum" cake real soon. Again, THX. "Cele"

Aw, give it another shot. Sometimes it's trial and error. I'm still learning, but when I first started baking some cakes were horrible, but others were amazing. With practice my cakes are more consistant now :-)

I use your recipe and it was delicious

My grandmother, who was born and raised in Louisiana, made this cake all the time with either chocolate or cream cheese frosting. She's up in age now, living in a nursing home, so she doesn't bake anymore. I tried to bake it a couple of years ago but it came out pretty flat. All threee of my layers probably equaled to one of yours and hers, lol. I really love the cake and want to try it again. I wish I could have some of yours b/c it's looks so good and fluffy, just like my grandmother's.

I would have love 2 have seen the texture of the cake...I'm also a cake baker....try buttermilk instead of milk... works better....

Wow, thanks much!

Looks very good so the wife and i made one

Thank you

I like it..thanks again i will try it :)

I need a stand mixer! I made a similar recipe last week and it flopped. I think it was the fact I didn't cream the butter enough and whip the rest of the ingredients long enough. Having to hold the hand mixer so long was killing my wrists.

Thanks..easy to remember :)

Well done thanks for explaining the 1-2-3-4 concept, will definitely bake it for my family and am looking forward to try out your frosting it look smooth.👌

What happens if the butter and condense milk don't thickens??? Do I just keep beating it until it happens???

Thank you so much. I lost my mothers 1-2-3-4 cake recipe can’t wait to make it. I wanted to make a strawberry cake with this recipe can I add the strawberries in the mix also

That cake melts in your mouth doesn't it sure looks so good i have to make it and i love the 3 layers and the darker chocolate also could this reciepe have chocolate in the batter and do you use hersheys cocoa and have you tried the dark cocoa powder. Thank you for sharing your recipes just give us more!!!!

I can’t hear or read lips. I sure would love to know this recipe 🥲

Very good cakethanks

Mmmm'' that looks delishes thanks for sharing

Does this cake have to be kept in the refrigerator

Your cake looks so good and easy to make. Can't wait to make and try it. Do you have any videos for Pineapple Cake. My grandmom use to make Pineapple cake with just the pineapple as the frosting and a simple syrup from the pineapple juice. Can't find anyone making it this way anymore. keep the recipes coming, Von

Wish I could see the actual batter as you're preparing it.

thanks

Are you from Savannah? You sound like my college friend.

Good Evening Henrietta How much baking powder?

عاشت ايدك متابعتك م̷ـــِْט العراق

Where do I get the recipe so I don’t have to watch the video again

pls ma'am. i cup of butter is equivalent to how many grams

No baking power, or baking soda? How does it lift?

1 -2-3-4 - should 5 be the milk?

Thanks so much for uploading I can't wait to try your recipe

My dad left me when this was posted have not seen him since but now he want to talk 😐

Need baking flour and salt and flavored use self rising flour

If you measure 1 tablespoon with your pla ce setting and 1 tablespoon measure they won't be the same amount😢

My 1234 cake taste like a sponge cake! Margarine instead butter , water instead of milk

I believe that is is called a 1234 cake because of the measurement of the ingredients not the amount of the ingredients.

I love the cake but it should not be called 1234 cake because there is more ingredients then what you said

I made this for my family omg so good thanks for the recipe
