One - Two - Three - Four Cake I

I have altered my mother’s recipe and added my own to this and I find it is better than hers especially since I replace the milk with yogurt. Now I mostly replace milk with yogurt in my other recipes and this gives a better texture. My husband says it tastes similar to pound cake which he loves so much and I don’t put icing, although you can if you wish.
