 Ingredients List

  • 6 Eggs, at room temperature or
  • -warmer
  • 1 c Extra-fine granulated sugar
  • 1 ts Vanilla extract
  • 1 c Cake flour; sifted
  • 1/4 c Butter

 Directions

Recipe by: The New York Times Cookbook 1. Warm the bowl of an electric
mixer. Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla at the highest speed until
the mixture stands in stiff peaks when the beater is withdrawn. Depending
on the power of the mixer, this should take from 5 to 30 minutes. It is
important not to underbeat the mixture. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a
rubber spatula from time to time so the ingredients will be well blended.

2. Meanwhile grease two 9-inch or three 8-inch cake pans that are 1 1/2
inches deep. Line the pans with waxed paper and grease the paper. Melt the
butter and let cool to luke warm. Set the oven temperature at moderate 350F
and place the rack in the lower third of the oven.

3. Divide the flour into 6 - 8 portions and sift over the egg mixture a
portion at a time. Use a rubber spatula to fold it in gently after each
addition.

4. Add the butter, about a teaspoon at a time, and fold it in gently but
completely.

5. Turn the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 - 40 minutes.
When done, the cake will rebound to the touch when pressed gently in the
center.

6. Turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack, remove the paper and let cool.
