Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla paste until creamed. Add room temperature yolks and combine well. Combine the baking flour and all-purpose flour. Beat in half the flour and half the milk then add remaining milk and flour and combine well. Then transfer batter to parchment lined sheet pan or 13-inch round cake pan.

    Once I saw the recipe I knew that the frosting recipe was more than three times what the size of the cake would need. Making the cake was easy just seems that the recipe is laking a few ingredients to make this one a hit. This cake is way to sweet.
