Recipe - Classic Yellow Cake

12 tablespoon Unsalted butter; softened
1 One half cup Sugar
2 cup All purpose flour
2 teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Salt
3 Eggs
1 Egg yolk
Three fourths cup Milk
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Two 9inch diameter by 1 1/2inch deep layer pans or one 13 by 9 by 2inch
pan, buttered and bottoms lined with parchment or waxed paper.

Set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for about 5 minutes, until
light and fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Combine eggs, yolk, milk and vanilla extract. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture
to butter mixture then add half the milk mixture. Continue to alternate
beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrape bowl and beater often. Pour
batter into prepared pan and smooth top with a metal spatula. Bake cake
about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges
clean. Cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack,
remove paper and let cool completely.
