1-1/2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup boiling water
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Grease and flour a 10" flan pan and an 8x8x2" baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 deg.
Sift flour with baking powder and salt onto wax paper.
Beat egg yolks in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed, 5 minutes, until thick and light. Add sugar gradually, beating until mixture is pale and thick enough to form a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 3 minutes. Stir in boiling water and vanilla.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture over the egg-yolk mixture. Fold in gently, using rubber spatula. Repeat with remaining flour. Pour 2 cups of the batter into each prepared pan.
Bake layers in a moderate oven (350 deg.) for 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and centers spring back when lightly touched with fingertip.
Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; loosen around edges with a knife. Turn onto wire rack; cool completely. |
