David's Yellow Cake

 

After trying different cake recipes that I thought were too dry, I decided to try making up one of my own.

Servings:12

Yield:2 - 8 inch layers 

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 8 egg yolks
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

 

Directions:

Step1: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 - 8 inch round pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Step2: 

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans.

 Step3: 

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped. Cool 15 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks.
