GOLD CAKE

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter or shortening
1 cup sugar
4 egg yolks, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sifted cake flour

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Sift together flour and baking powder until well combined.

Cream butter OR shortening well, add sugar. Beat.

Add egg yolks, beaten until light, and vanilla. Mix.

Stir in a small portion of flour/baking powder mixture, then pour in a small amount of milk. Repeat, beating after each addition until all ingredients are used. To avoid a tough cake texture, do not overbeat.
