Yellow Cake for One

2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons butter

1/4 cup white sugar

1-1/4 egg yolks (use a spoon and try to estimate about 1/4 of one yolk, plus another yolk)

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup cake flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a mini bar pan or muffin cup. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt by using a small whisk or food processor. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with a fork until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, then stir in the vanilla. Using a fork, beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan of your choice.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched. Cool 15 minutes before turning out of pan.
