    Here is the Original Sylvia Weinstock's Classic Yellow Cake Recipe:

    2 1/4 C sifted Cake Flour
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 sticks of butter
    2 C granulated sugar
    4 Lg egg yolks
    2 tsp vanilla
    1 C sour cream
    4 Lg egg whites

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Prepare and line 2-8X3" or one 12X3 inch pan with parchment.

    Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.
    Cream butter until light and fluffy, about 3 min.
    Add sugar and continue to beat for another 5 minutes.
    Add egg yolks, one at a time. Fully incorporating each yolk before the next is added.
    Add vanilla.

    Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry. Scrape down sides of bowl after each addition.

    In a separate bowl, beat egg whites just until soft peaks form.
    Gently fold egg whites into batter.

    Bake 8" layers 45-50 min and the 12" pan 60 min or until golden brown.
