INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup butter, room temp
  • 1 1/2 c sugar
  • 3 ea large eggs
  • 3 ea egg yolks
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 ea lemon, zest and juice
  • 10 fl.oz milk room temp
DIRECTIONS
  • Method: In a fresh bowl, with a mixer on medium-high speed (use the paddle attachment if using a standing mixer), beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale yellow, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, then yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla, lemon zest and juice.

    In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir (or beat at low speed) about a third of the flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in half the milk just until blended. Stir in another third of the flour mixture, then remaining milk, followed by remaining flour. Scrape batter equally into two buttered and floured 9-inch round cake pans and spread level, or one 9 x 13 pan, buttered and floured.

    Bake in a 350° regular or convection oven until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on racks in pans for 10 minutes, then invert cakes onto racks and remove pans. Cool completely before frosting.
