French Thin Genoise recipe

You want to create a new cake but you don’t really know how to start ?
One of my favorite way to start a “new cake” is to make a genoise cake as a first layer like in thoses verrines.

I often try new genoise recipes, but for now I gonna show you the basic genoise recipe.

Ingredients for 4 people

• 3 eggs
• 90gr(3 oz) flour
• 90gr(3 oz) sugar
• 20gr(3/4 oz) butter

Method

1. In a bowl, break the eggs and add the sugar.

   

2. Set a bowl in hot water (bain-marie) and beat until it doubles in volume.
   
3. With a wooden spoon, slowly pour the flour into the mix.
4. Spread the dough on a parchment paper and bake at 170 °C (338 °F) for 7 minutes, being careful not to burn the cake.

Then cut out the genoise in circle, in square, or what ever you want !
