Golden Loaf Cake Like Sanders (1970's)

This is a soft textured golden cake that slices like fresh bread and the yolks in the rich batter make this possible.

6 egg yolks (freeze whites for 90 days) 
1-cup sugar
1 teaspoon orange extract
Dash nutmeg
1-cup self-rising flour
1/2-cup very hot milk
4 tablespoons butter melted in the hot milk

In deep, narrow mixing bowl on medium-high, beat yolks 3 to 5 minutes till thick and lemon-colored. Then add sugar little at a time continuing to beat. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl often. Beat in extract and nutmeg. Beat 2 minutes. Beat in flour just till absorbed. Do all of the hard beating before adding flour. Then reduce speed to low and add milk/butter while it's still hot. Do not over-beat.
Pour batter into Pam-sprayed and flour dusted 9" bread loaf pan or Pyrex loaf dish. Bake at 350 degrees F 35-40 minutes or till tests done using long piece dry pasta inserted into center and removed clean of any wet batter as you would in using a toothpick, which in this case wouldn't be long enough.
Cool in pan on wire rack 30 minutes. Frost with slightly warmed frosting from 1-lb container ready-to-spread frosting (lemon, orange, vanilla or of your choice.) Slice 1 inch thick like bread to serve.
Store sealed in plastic wrap room temperature or refrigerated to use in a few days.
Freeze sliced loaf to use within a few months.
