Literally meanin “”4 fourths”, this French recipe takes its name from the fact all four ingredients are used in the same amount. It is the perfect ratio for the perfect result! So easy and so, so addictive…

.

For a medium size cake you’ll need to use 4 medium EGGS. After you measure how much they weigh, you need to integrate the same amount of SUGAR, melted BUTTER and FLOUR.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Sepearte the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the whites until firm with a little pinch of salt

2. Whisk the sugar and the egg yolks until the sugar dissolves completely.

3. If using an extra aroma such as vanilla, lemon zest, cinnamon or chocolate chips you may added to the egg-sugar mixture at this phase.

4. Add the cooled down (room temperature or luke warm…) melted butter and mix.

5. Slowly fold in the egg whites with a spatula without breaking them. The more the whites stay compact, the fluffier you’ll cake will be.

6. Bake the cake in a preheated 180 degree Celsisus oven for 45 to 55 minutes depending on your oven’s power.

Bon appetit!

These tips will not only make your baking experience easier but also add lots and lots of flavors to your baked good!

1- Always use room temperature eggs!

Make sure to get your eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so they have time to warm up. Room temperature eggs combine better with other ingredients. If you have forgotten to take your out your eggs out of the fridge in time don’t panic! There’s always a trick: Just keep them under warm water for a couple of minutes…

2- Always sift flour before you use it!

Sifting allows lumps to break. Aerated flour combines better with other ingredients.

3- To obtain room temperature butter, use your microwave!

Some recipes may require the use of room temperature water. If you have forgotten to take it out of your fridge in advance you can simply heat it for 15 to 30 seconds in your microwave. Do not forget: melted butter is not the same as room temperature butter so make sure to use low power on your microwave to control the consistency…

4- Prep your baking trey!

To make sure that your baked goods do not stick to your baking pan or trey do not skip the prepping steps. You can apply sunflower oil with a towel or simply use parchment paper for oven use.

5- Add lemon drops to your dough

Small amount of lemon juice will increase the acidity of the dough and allow it to rise quicker and better. However do not overdue it, otherwise it will change the taste as well

6- Always use salt, even when you bake something sweet!

The addition of a pinch of salt will elevate the aromas of your baked goods. It also interact with water and fat molecules and improve the cakes texture.

7- To ripen your banana, pop it in the oven!

When using banana instead of sugar, you must always use ripe bananas. However if your bananas are still firm you can quickly ripen them by “baking” them at 150 degree Celsius for 30 to 45 minutes.

8- Use cold bottles as a rolling pin!

You know you need to chill your tart and cookie doughs before rolling it but did you know that using a cold water or wine bottle can make this step easier?
You can refrigerate your bottle for 30 minutes with your doughs and easily roll them out with this technique.

9- Get yourself a kitchen scale!

Using the right amount of ingredients are crucial for baking. Therefore measuring them correctly is extremely important. It’s always better to weigh ingredient by weight rather than volume therefore using a scale is very important.

10- Rotate your trey!

Every oven has a spot that is slightly hotter that the rest. To make sure to cook evenly, rotate your trey halfway through the cooking time to prevent under-baking or burning your product.
