Grease the 9" round cake pan(s).
Line the pans with waxed paper.
Start with the cake.
Beat the egg yolks and vanilla together at medium speed until thoroughly
blended.
Beat in half the sugar.
Continue beating until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
Use clean, dry beaters to beat the egg whites and salt together at medium
speed until very soft peaks form.
Gradually beat in the remaining sugar until stiff (not dry) peaks form.
Fold the yolk mixture into the egg white mixture.
Sift the flour over the mixture.
Gently fold the flour into the egg mixture - DO NOT OVER MIX.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until the top springs back lightly when pressed (about 25 minutes).

Run a spatula around the sides of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
Invert the pan onto a wire rack.
Remove the pan.
Leave the wax paper on the cake.
Turn the cake right side up.
Cool completely on the rack.
Prepare the filling.

Whisk in the egg yolks, vanilla and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Boil for 1 minute, constantly whisking the mixture.
Remove from the heat.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl.
Press plastic wrap onto the surface to prevent a "skin" from forming.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cut the cake horizontally in half (use a serrated knife).
Carefully remove the waxed paper.
Place the bottom layer on the serving plate.
Spread the filling over.
Place the top layer on the filling.
Prepare the glaze by combining the sugar, corn syrup and water to boil in a
small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has
dissolved.
Remove from the heat.

Let stand for a minute.
Whisk until smooth.
Slowly pour the glaze over the cake, permitting glaze to drip over the sides.
Let stand until the glaze sets.
Refrigerate until served.
