Yellow Birthday Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 8 egg yolks

  • ¾ cup milk (I used oat milk)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 cups cake flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 – 8 inch round pans (I used 3 – 6 inch round pans). Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
