1 c. butter
2 c. white sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. whole milk
3 c. cake flour, sifted 3 times
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter with sugar, add 4 egg yolks that have been beaten slightly. Mix well. Sift cake flour 3 times with the baking powder and salt. Add flour, mix alternately with 1 cup milk. Beat egg whites until stiff and gently fold into batter mixture. Pour into greased and floured 9 inch cake pans (or use JOY spray). Bake around 30 minutes or until tested done. This makes 3 pans full or two pans and 8 cupcakes.
