Homemade Yellow Cake

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a round cake pan (diameter 8 inch) with butter or cooking spray/oil. Set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of your electric mixer beat the butter until soft and creamy (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). Add egg yolks, in two batches, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat until combined.

With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour; beat until combined after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy.
