Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Spread 100 g rolled oats in a thin, even layer over a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Toast in the oven for 10 minutes.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

At the end of this time (do watch for the colour and don't let them get too brown), take them out of the oven and leave to cool.

When cold, blend the toasted oats to a floury consistency.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 3 min.

Use a whisk to mix the oats into 150 g flour and 200 g caster sugar.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Put into a food-processor bowl, then add 4 eggs, 250 g butter and 1 pinch salt.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Mix well.

Stage 6

Stop beating once the mixture appears smooth and evenly mixed.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put the mixture into a loaf tin or mould.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 40 min.

Bake for about 40 minutes.

Check if the cake is cooked after 30 minutes.

Stage 9

Leave to cool on a wire rack before eating.

Remarks

If, like Louise, you really like the flavour of oats, you can increase the weight and take off the same weight of flour.

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

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Contrary to what people usually think, coulis is not just a simple fruit purée with sugar. Of course, this is the general principle, but it's possible to make something much better and more refined.

A very classic recipe, but which can easily fail due to two main errors: too much water in bottom of dish because endives give off a lot, and endives that are too bitter so that children hate it. Here is a method which avoids these two problems.

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".
