Filling:1/2 c. sugar1/4 c. all-purpose flour1 1/2 c. milk6 large egg yolks2 tsp. vanilla pinch of salt Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line with waxed paper. Beat together egg yolks and vanilla at medium speed until blended. Beat in half of sugar until very thick and pale. Using clean, dry beaters, beat together egg whites and salt at medium speed until very soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.

Fold yolk mixture into egg whites. Sift flour over mixture; fold in gently. Do not overmix. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until top springs back when lightly pressed, 25 minutes. Loosen cake by running a metal spatula around sides of pan. Invert cake onto a wire rack. Remove pan, leaving waxed paper on cake. Turn cake right side up. Cool completely on rack.

Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a saucepan, mix together sugar and flour. Gradually whisk in milk, then egg yolks, vanilla and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Press plastic wrap on surface. Chill for 30 minutes.
