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!
