How to Make 1928 Award Winning Gold Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 4 teaspoons baking powder. Sift three times for a light and airy texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, creaming until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. In a measuring cup, combine 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (plus 1 teaspoon orange extract, optional).
  7. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
