The success is guaranteed!

Want to eat some cake, but you don’t have much time and motivation? Then you are in the right place! Quatre-quarts is a child’s play! Quatre-quarts stands for four quarters: 1/4 sugar, 1/4 flour, 1/4 butter and 1/4 eggs. You simply need to weight the desired amout of eggs (with shell) and put the same amount of all the other ingredients (for example, 3 eggs weight around 125g).

The ingredients :

• 125g flour
• 125g sugar
• 125g melted butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 sachet baking powder

The recipe :

1. Pre-heat the oven up to 180°C.
2. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and stir with a whisk until until smooth.
3. Pour the dough in a greased cake pan.
4. Bake the cake for around 25 minutes.
5. And here we are! Enjoy! 🙂

The classic!

Not much to say, it’s a chocolate cake! For me, it tastes best when the outside is a bit crusty and the inside still moist and compact. To make it happened, your best bet is a kugelhopf pan.

The ingredients :

• 250g chocolate
• 225g sugar
• 125g melted butter
• 40g flour
• 5 eggs

The recipe :

1. Pre-heat the oven up to 180°C.
2. Melt the chocolate and the butter seperately, then add them together in a big bowl.
3. Add the sugar and the flour.
4. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks: Mix the egg yolks with the rest and put the egg whites in a new bowl.
5. Stir the mixture with a whisk until until smooth.
6. Whisk the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt.
7. Add them delicately to the mixture with a rubber spatula.
8. Pour the mixture in a greased kugelhopf pan and put it in the oven.
9. Bake the cake for around 25 minutes. Stick a knife in the cake to know if it’s ready (if there’s some dough on the knife, it’s not ready yet!).
10. Let it rest a bit and then…enjoy it! 🙂
