my grandmother made this cake also, I always thought it was all hers handed down from her to daughters and grand daughters, however we make ours differently and it also is great.
we use 4 eggs, 2 c sugar, 2 c flour, 1 stick of butter, 1 c of milk, 2 tsp of baking powder, 2 tsp vanilla, dash of salt
Directions: 4 eggs beat for 2 mins, while doing this, in a sause pan melt the butter and milk, making sure not to scold, then back to the mix, add 2 cups of sugar and beat for 2 mins, add 2 c flour and beat for 2 mins, then add the melted butter and milk, beat for 2 mins, latesly add the baking soda beat for 2 mins and vanilla and dash of salt and beat for 2 mins. then put into a greased and floured pan, it can be of your choice, we use the fluted pan bake at 350 for 40 to 55 mins after cooled sprinkle with powered sugar

Hi Anne,
I’m so glad you found it! It’s my grandmother’s recipe too and we make this for all our birthday cakes!
Hugs, Jamie

My grandmother was famous in our family for her hit milk cake but she never used a written recipe. This version is a little different with the addition of the coconut topping but I don’t think she’ll mind me making this version my own!

Hi Ann,
Yes, you add the vanilla to the milk. Thanks for letting me know. I’ve fixed the recipe!
