Gâteau de Plomb
A dense, lightly sweet butter and yolk cake baked in a pie plate and dusted with icing sugar.
Method
Steps
Step 1
Sift half a pound of flour onto a clean work surface and make a well in the centre. Add one saltspoon of salt, three ounces of sugar, a quarter pound of butter, two pasteurized egg yolks and one gill of fresh milk. Knead together until a soft, evenly mixed dough forms.
Step 2
Transfer all the dough to one lightly buttered pie plate and spread evenly. Bake in a moderate oven for about thirty minutes, continuing as needed until golden and fully set through, with no wet dough in the centre.
Step 3
Remove, dust with a little icing sugar and serve. This is a dense cake without added baking powder or yeast.
