Clarified butter
Clarified butter
This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.

  • 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".
