Preparation

Step 1

TO MAKE CAKE:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9 by 13 inch cake pan with shortening and set aside.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together, add 2 tablespoons of the 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in 1 of the 2 bowls. Then mix the egg yolks one by one, completely mix them--do not add another one until the one before is completely mixed.

3. Get another bowl and sift the cake flour, salt, and baking powder together. Stir to distribute everything good. Slowly mix it together with the stuff in the other bowl. When it starts to get dry or hard to mix with the mixer add the milk, yogurt, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and vanilla. Add about seven drops of yellow food coloring or until you get the perfect golden yellow. Mix completely and very well, leave no unmixed cake flour on the sides.

4. Pour into the prepared pan leaving enough space to rise. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick into the cake and it comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Top with topping.
