This is the cake recipe my grandmother baked most often, as it's very versatile. The earliest version I found in her recipes was written down in the early 1940's.
Heat milk and butter together over a low heat until butter is melted. DO NOT BOIL THE MILK!!! Grease and flour either: 1-9x13" pan or 2- 9" round pans, or 3- 8" round pans, or a 12-cupcake tin. Preheat oven to 350?. Beat eggs just until light and lemon-colored. Add sugar gradually to the beaten eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and the baking powder. Add this alternately with the hot milk mixture to the egg and sugar mixture. When all are mixed, add the vanilla. Pour batter into the pan(s). Bake as follows: 45 minutes for a sheet cake, 25 minutes for everything else. Test for doneness as follows: Insert a knife in the center of the cake; it should come out clean. The sides of the cake should be away from the sides of the pan, and it should be firm to the touch, springing back from light pressure.
