Cake recipe for two 8-inch round
layers:
6 Tbl butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup milk
Preheat oven
to 350°F. Butter and lightly flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Cream
the butter until softened and add the sugar slowly, continuing to beat until
creamy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat to blend well.
Alternately blend the dry ingredients and the milk into the butter mixture in
three or four batches and beat until smooth.
In a separate
bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but do not let them get dry. Gently
fold a third of the whites into the cake batter, then fold in the remaining
whites. Spoon the batter into the cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Cool in the pan about 5 minutes before removing the cakes onto a wire rack.
Allow to cool completely.
Custard Recipe:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbl flour
1/8 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Heat the milk
in a pan until very hot, then whisk in the granulated sugar, flour and salt.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until very thick. As you
continue to whisk, add the egg yolks, and stir for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, add the vanilla and allow to cool to room temperature,
stirring occasionally. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until you are
ready to fill the cake.
