Quatre-quart cake recipe

Quatre-quart cake is from far one of the best cake for afternoon tea with kids (and grown up 🙂 ). It is so delicious. It comes from Bretagne, a French region when my granny is from. As a result, I am proposing you today Mamie Foulanue’s Quatre-quart cake, or my childhood cake hihihi. As you wish :).

Quatre-quart cake recipe

That’s how I was calling my grandma : Mamie Foulangue, because she was actually living in Foulangue, after she left Bretagne and then Paris.

I brought this delicious cake to the kindergarden, so the little ones could celebrate Julie’s birthday without being covered with chocolate or others things. I was trying to keep it simple for two years old babies. Easier to wash :).

The grandma tricks for this recipe is to add the same weight of flour, sugar and butter than eggs (white and yolk). So if your eggs weight more than 220 gr. adjust accordingly.

I shouldn’t have use baking powder in this recipe, however I couldn’t manage to fail and make this cake again so I added it just in case. But I will try again without it and let you know what happened :).

    Hi! I tried half recipe, it’s at the oven right now. I didn’t added the lemon zest, just removed the yolk skin. I’ll come back to tell if it worked. Oh, and there’s no baking powder on your recipe – I didn’t added it either. Sorry for the English, I’m brazilian. Beijos!

    Hi
    Thank you for the recipe. Do you use plain flour or self-raising? If using plain flour do you add any baking powder?
    all the best
