Quatre-Quarts

The quatre-quarts is a classic recipe from the french repertoire. Directly translated into english it means “four-quarters”. It originated in Brittany and its name comes from the fact that it is made up of 4 ingredients in equal quantities, each representing a quarter of the cake.

This is the traditional quatre-quarts recipe but you can then add different flavours etc – lemon, vanilla, apples

Ingredients :

  • 4 eggs
  • Same weight in flour
  • Same weight in sugar
  • Same weight in salted butter
  • I heaped teaspoon of baking powder

Method :

  1. Crack your eggs into a bowl and weigh them. 4 eggs weighs around 180g – 200g.
  2. Use the weight of your eggs and weigh the exact same amount of flour, butter and sugar.
  3. Melt butter and allow to cool
  4. Beat the eggs with the sugar
  5. In another bowl mix the flour and baking powder
  6. Make a well in the flour and pour in the egg and sugar mixture and beat gently with a whisk
  7. Add the melted butter and mix well
  8. Pour batter into a greased loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes
