2 2/3 cups cake flour
2 1/4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (2 8" sticks)
2 cups sifted sugar
4 egg yolks
1 cup milk
4 egg whites

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Sift cake flour with baking powder and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl . In a large mixing bowl, cream butter until soft; then slowly mix sugar in, beat egg yolks in, one at a time, beating after each addition.

Divide the contents of the medium sized mixing bowl into 3 separate parts and add to bowl, alternating with milk. Stir batter until smooth.

Whip egg whites until they are stiff, but not dry.

Bake in greased pans for 30-35 minutes.

Add icing and whipped cream and you've made yourself a DELICIOUS cake! Recipe from an old Joy of Cooking.

Look for Maple Icing - it is great on the cake, it was also contributed by me!!
