/2 Cup Milk  
Tablespoon Butter; plus  
Teaspoon Butter  
Large Eggs  
Cup Sugar; plus  
Tablespoon Sugar  
Cup Bleached flour  
Teaspoon Baking powder  
/2 Teaspoon Salt  
Teaspoon Pure vanilla extract  
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 1  
tablespoon of butter, over medium heat. Put the eggs and 2 cups of sugar in  
a large mixing bowl, and with an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk  
beat on medium−high speed until the mixture is pale yellow, thick, and has  
tripled in volume, about 8 minutes, using the mixer. With the machine on  
low, beat in the warm milk mixture. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt  
together in another large mixing bowl. Add the egg mixture and vanilla, fold  
to mix thoroughly so the mixture is smooth. Grease 12− by 17−inch baking  
sheet pan with the remaining butter. Sprinkle with the remaining 2  
tablespoons of sugar. Pour the cake batter evenly into the pan and bake  
until the cake springs back when touched, about 15 minutes. Let cool for  
about 2 minutes. Sprinkle a piece of parchment paper with powdered sugar.  
Using a thin spatula or knife, loosen the edges of the cakes, then flip onto  
the paper. Cool completely. This recipe yields one 12− by 17−inch sheet  
cake.
