Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup flour
- pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. butter a 9x5 loaf mold or round mold and coat lightly with flour, or use a no-stick bakery spray.
- Soften the butter in a bowl until it becomes creamier. Add the sugar 2 to 3 times and whisk vigorously until a nice cream is created.
- Separate the egg yolk from the white. Add the egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture. Incorporate the sifted flour.
- In another bowl beat at full speed the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Once soft peaks are formed and no more white liquid is in your bowl from the egg white, Incorporate the egg whites into the egg flour mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the mold and bake for 40 minutes in the middle of the oven.Verify that it is ready by inserting a knife in the middle.Remove from the oven and wait 5 minutes prior to removing from the mold.
Notes
- Not all ovens are the same. After 30 minutes of baking, insert a knife in the middle, and if it comes out clean, the Quatre-Quarts is done. Most noteworthy is not worrying about falling when you open the oven door. We do not use baking powder.
- Let it rest in the mold over a cooling wire rack for 5 minutes before removing it.
- Set on a cooling rack. The cooling rack will help the bottom cool off, and air will circulate underneath it.
