Name: Basic Cake Batter
Ingredients: To flavor: your choice of vanilla, citrus zest*, etc.; 4 eggs; 1 ¼ cups (9 oz./250 g) sugar; ½ cup minus 1 tablespoon (110 ml) whipping cream; ¼ teaspoon (1 g) salt; 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder; 5 tablespoons (2 ½ oz./70 g) butter; 2 ¼ cups (7 oz./200 g) cake flour

This is a classic recipe for a loaf cake that gives a nice, airy result and can be flavored as you wish. Just how moist or crisp it is depends on how you store it. Wrapped in plastic film, it will be moist; unwrapped, it will have a slight crunch when you bite into the crust.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons (2 ½ oz./70 g) butter
2 ¼

Method

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Melt the butter and set it aside. Sift the flour with the baking powder. Whisk* the sugar, eggs, salt, and cream together in a mixing bowl (1, 2). Stir in the sifted flour and baking powder until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Stir
