Birthday Cake

By: Carol

"Here is a birthday cake, it is practical and at the same time it can be made fancy with Decorator Frosting (found on our site). One or more layers can be tinted by adding food coloring."

Original Recipe Yield 1 - 8 inch layer cake

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter
2 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
7 egg yolks
4 1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 inch round pans.
Sift flour before measuring; resift with salt and baking powder at least twice more.
Beat egg yolks until very thick and pale - approximately 5 minutes with a mixer on high speed.
