improver, until pale and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture in 4 batches
alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture and stirring
after each addition until batter is smoothen.
Divide batter between pans, smoothing tiptop, and bake in middle of oven

cake layers in pans on racks 10 proceedings. Run a thin knife around edge of
each pan and invert cake layers onto racks. Remove wax paper carefully and
cool cake layers wholly. Cake layers may be made 5 days ahead and
icy, wrapped in plastic wrap and transparency. Thaw cake layers in refrigerator
