Author Notes:
Very light and delicate, just like the one at the Pâtisseries in Paris. And a recipe given to me by a French Pâtissier friend of mine on how to make Fromage Blanc - very hard to find outside France.
Serves: 6
Ingredients
-
3
eggs (separated)
-
400
grams Fromage Blanc (or 250 gr of natural yoghurt and 150 gr of cream cheese)
-
3
tablespoons brown sugar
-
3/4
cup sifted flour
-
1
teaspoon olive oil (to brush the baking pan)
In This Recipe
Directions
- Mix the egg yolks and the brown sugar on high speed until the color turns a lighter shade of yellow.
- If you do not have Fromage Blanc you can make it by using a proportion of one portion of natural unsweetened yoghurt with one third of a portion of cream cheese. Just mix them until blended with a fork and you have Fromage Blanc!
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites until very stiff.
- Mix together the egg yolk and sugar mix, with first the Fromage Blanc, then the flour and at the very end fold in gently the egg whites.
- Brush a baking pan, preferably round, with the olive oil and pour in the mixture. Bake for 40 minutes in a medium oven (about 180º C. / 350º F.)
- Let the cake cool thoroughly before serving. It goes very nicely with some red fruits on the side.
