For an even more rustic flavour, use brown cane sugar.

Chocolate tart
As you can see, there's very little added sugar in this recipe, so it's a very chocolatey and bitter-sweet tart. November 16th 2013302 K 15 2 hours 30 min.
Passion fruit jellies
Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible . July 4th 2018342 K4 2 hours 30 min.

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".
