For the Yellow Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time; then add vanilla and mix completely. Slowly add in flour mixture alternately with the milk and stir until batter is smooth.

Grease two 9 inch pans and evenly split the batter between them. (You can also make 10 to 12 individual cakes in large muffin pans).

Bake for 20 minutes.

For the Filling:

Combine the sugar, flour, eggs, and vanilla in a medium heat safe bowl. Place the bowl over a double boiler and add the scalded milk, stirring continuously until mixture is thick enough to hold peaks.

For the Chocolate Frosting:

Mix chocolate and butter together in a bowl. Gradually add confectionery sugar water. Beat continuously until shiny.

To assemble:

Place one layer of cake on a platter. Spread the top with cream filling and place second layer on top. Frost the cake with chocolate frosting.
