To succeed, you should know that there are two secrets: water first of all (much more than for normal bread), and the working of the dough, which is also very different.

  • Hello Daniela,
    No, baking powder is not needed for this recipe (this is the magic of quatre-quarts style cakes).
    But you can add some if you want, this will probably make the cake a bit more "light".
