Thank you! I used to make this cake fairly often, as I had another recipe that required only 3 egg WHITES. This was the perfect way to use the leftover yolks. I had it from an old, old cooking encyclopedia of my mom's that I've long since lost in a move, but I know it was just exactly this recipe. I like this rich, golden cake. Again, thanks!
