Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 325 grams all purpose flour; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/2 tablespoon salt; 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, soft and but into 1 inch pieces, plus more for greasing pans; 325 grams sugar; 4 eggs, room temperature; 2 yolks, room temperature; 1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract; 1 1/4 cups whole milk, room temperature; Soaker: vanilla bean simple syrup (1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, scraping of 1 vanilla bean, brought to a boil and cooled)

Servings: persons

325 grams all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, soft and but into 1 inch pieces, plus more for greasing pans
325 grams sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
2 yolks, room temperature
1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whole milk, room temperature
Soaker: vanilla bean simple syrup (1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, scraping of 1 vanilla bean, brought to a boil and cooled)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease the bottom and sides of the cake pans with butter, line with parchment paper rounds, and set aside. Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on high speed until it is light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Reduce the mixer speed to medium and slowly add the eggs and yolks with the vanilla one at a time, mixing well between each addition until incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently. In four additions, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk on low speed, mixing until just incorporated. Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer and finish mixing the cake with a spatula; do not over mix.
3
Divide the batter evenly between the three pans (use a scale for easy measuring) and bake for approximately 25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. When fully baked, the cakes will be springy to the touch, look golden brown, and a tester inserted in the centers will come out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the cakes onto a cooling rack and remove the parchment. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling. When building the cake, brush each layer liberally with cooled soaker.
