The name of this cake comes from the equivalence of the 4 main ingredients. The average weight of an egg is 50 grams, so feel free to adjust the weight of the other ingredients if they are large eggs, farm eggs etc…

Tip

To flavour the dough, add a few drops of orange blossom or vanilla bean seeds.
