Ingredients
 

  • 4 (250 g) eggs (Weight your eggs without the shell and apply the same weight to the Flour, Sugar and Butter. Mine was 8.82oz/1cup (250g))
  • 1 1/4 cups (250 g) sugar (Same weight as the Eggs)
  • 18 tbsp (250 g) butter (Same weight as the Eggs, Melted)
  • 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla paste
  • 2 cups (250 g) flour (Same weight as the Eggs)
  • 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the Eggs and Sugar for about 10 min (Medium speed) until light and fluffy. It needs to triple in size.
  • Gently add the cooled melted butter and the Vanilla Paste. Do not overmix.
  • Then, fold the Flour and Sea Salt.
  • Pour your preparation into your Flexipan®. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 350F/180C. Then, drop the temperature to 295F/145C continue baking for another 40 minutes. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 45min)
  • Once your Traditional French Pound Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 10min before unmolding. Serve and Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
