Vanilla Cake

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cupfuls Butter
• 2 cupfuls Granulated Sugar
• 6 Egg yolks
• 1 pint All-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls Baking powder (Originally Royal Baking Powder.)
• 1 cupful Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoonful Vanilla extract (Originally Royal Extract Vanilla.)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy.
2. 2Add the egg yolks and cream to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until combined.
3. 3In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the vanilla extract.
4. 4Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a smooth, rather firm batter. Pour the batter into a shallow square pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
