2. Cream your butter well; slowly add your sugar, and cream until mixture is light and fluffy. Now, add your beaten egg yolks, mixing well.

3. Alternate adding your flour mixture with your milk, a little at a time beating well after each addition. When batter is smooth, add flavoring and beat well.

4. Pour finished batter into a well greased 8" square baking pan. Bake at 350 for 50-60 mins.
