Re: Cake for a party
Here in Belgium there is a standard cake recipe for what is called (translation) 4 quarter cake. You weigh your eggs and then add the same weight in SR flour (plus 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp of apricot jam or marmalade per 250g of flour ; the pectin in jam/marmalade gives a moister cake as it retains the moisture content thus improving the keeping quality),
