In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and kosher salt and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together milk and sour cream. Set aside

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by egg yolks, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl after every two eggs or so. Add the extracts with the last bit of eggs.

Switch the mixer to low, then add the flour mixture and sour cream alternately. I don’t wait until all the flour has incorporated before I add the next batch. I just keep adding with two hands. Pro-style. I stop the mixer to add the last of the sour cream, then scrape it all out with a rubber spatula. I like to finish folding in the dry ingredients with a large rubber spatula.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top using an offset spatula or spoon.

Bake in the preheated oven until a cake tester comes out with a few clinging crumbs. This will take about 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the cake pans, then loosen the edges with a paring knife and turn them out onto a rack. Allow to cool completely.
