One example is Child's The Frugal Housewife in 1830: "Cup cake. Cup cake is about as good as pound cake, and is cheaper. One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, and four eggs, well beat together, and baked in pans or cups. Bake twenty minutes, and no more."
At the same time a 1,2,3,4 type recipe that used milk rather than eggs is found in The Cook Not Mad of 1831: "Cup Cake. Four cups of flour, three of sugar, two of butter, one of milk, small tea spoonful of pearlash, spoonful of ginger, essence of lemon."
