Truc's Quarte Quart Cake


A quarte quart, also known geekily as the "maths cake" is a classic, rich and dense french cake (close enough, Truc is French Canadian Vietnamese...) where you use exactly the same weight for the four main ingredients - ie. crack eggs first and weigh it (as its the weight least easy to control), then use exactly the same amount in grams for flour, sugar and butter. you can therefore control how big you want your cake to be depending on how many ppl you are feeding etc. Whisk it all up - add your flavouring ie cocoa powder or pulped up orange, cream, shredded coconut etc and ice as you please. All easy in the hood!
