Aunt Martha'S Painted Birthday Cake

Ingredients:
2 1/3 cups confectioners’ sugar
7 egg yolks
2 Cups cake flour
*4 tsp salt

Directions:
% tsp baking powder
1° cups milk
1% tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour three 8 inch round cake
pans. Sift flour before measuring; resift with salt and baking powder a few
times. Beat egg yolks until thick and pale, about 5 minutes with a high
speed mixer. In a large bowl, cream butter (or margarine) and sugar. Blend
in eggs. Fold sifted mixture, alternately with milk, into creamed mixture.
Stir in vanilla. Pour batter into the three prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30
minutes, until cake springs back when touched. Cool in pans for 10
minutes then turn out and cool on a wire rack.
For Frosting use your favorite white icing and fronts entire cake layering
icing between cakes. With more white icing mix into several equal parts in
small bowls or cups. Add enough food coloring to each part to color using
any color you desire. Place the icing in the microwave and microwave on
high until frosting becomes very thin. Stir to mix the food coloring into the
icing. Drizzle over cake. Repeat with other colors until the cake looks like it
has been spattered and drizzled with paint.
