How to Make Yummy Yellow Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round baking pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is best done with an electric mixer.
Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix!
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid overbaking!
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
