🇫🇷 French Weekend Cake Recipe: Rich, Glaze Pound Cake in French Style.(Gâteau de Voyage, ASMR )

Hello friends! Today we're going to show you how to make a classic french dessert: Weekend Cake, aka Travel Cake or French pound cake.(cake week-end au pamplemousse, Gâteau de Voyage, pound cake)
Weekend Cake, or even Travel Cake, what a lovely name for such a simple dessert. Both of them are translated from french “Cake Week-end” and “Gâteau de Voyage”, it is similar to pound cake, or you can call it French pound cake. But there are still some differences. Pound cake is traditionally made with a pound of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar, and is to use softened butter, but french weekend cake is to use melted butter.
Weekend cake is actually a plain looking cake, made in a simple way, and the cake structure is firmer and less fragile, so it's ideal for a 3-4 days trip, or a weekend friend gathering dessert. This recipe is from Le Cordon Bleu, but we’ve made some adjustments. Hope you like this video. :-) Enjoy.
This rich, double-glazed pound cake is made in the classic French style. In fact, the recipe came from the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris.

很喜歡看糖餃子做甜點，看著很精緻很整潔，成品也很漂亮！ 是說本來一聽到有音樂聲在想，咦，這怎能夠稱得上是asmr？但很神奇地，原來就算有音樂也可以達到asmr的效果耶。收音很棒，影片也很美～

Hola , te saludo desde Perú. Una consulta. Hay alguna razón en echar la mantequilla derretida al final? Por favor. Gracias.

[@SweetDumpling]

Hola, Beating softened butter and sugar together is called creaming, it will add air in the batter, giving the cake more airy. Mixing melted butter and sugar doesn't add any air, so you will get two different texture of cake. ------------- Hola, Batir la mantequilla ablandada y el azúcar se llama batir, agregará aire a la masa y le dará al pastel más aire. Mezclar mantequilla derretida y azúcar no agrega aire, por lo que obtendrás dos texturas diferentes de pastel.

I recently tried your English scones recipe and it was soo good !! Thanks for that recipe! For this recipe can I use monk fruit instead of sugar and coconut oil instead of butter ? ( or half half ) ? Thanks !

Is grapefruit zest important? What is the role of it? Can I pass it??? And the butter when we add it to the egg mixture it is cool or warm?? Tksss

[@SweetDumpling]

Hello Poy Poy, you can use lemon or orange to replace the grapefruit, the zest is just for aroma. If you don't like it, don't need to add it in. The butter is warm. Butter's melting point is 32 to 35 °C (90 to 95 °F) 😊

[@noraalshail]

Is the baking powder used a double active or the normal one ?

[@SweetDumpling]

Hello there, it's double acting. 😊

[@angeliclight-h8h]

Hi can i use allpurpose flour instead

[@SweetDumpling]

Sure thing. 😊

[@vivifa]

If I use self rising flour, do I need baking powder ❓ Sorry for the silly question😅I am still in Baking 101 🙏🏻

[@SweetDumpling]

You don't have to add baking powder if you use the self rising flour, but you'd better to calculate how much grams of baking powder in the flour. 😊

[@郭俊廷-m7u]

請問這個磅蛋糕模具的型號跟品牌，然後是在哪裏買的呢😮

[@SweetDumpling]

品牌不太確定，是在台北復興SOGO百貨地下超市買的，好像是貝印的品牌。

[@hasaliza72hazari46]

the melted butter must be cool before mix it right?

[@SweetDumpling]

The butter is warm. 😊

[@hasaliza72hazari46]

Thank you

[@yenhong6197]

[@SweetDumpling]

Hi, it can make a beautiful glaze finish on fresh fruit tarts, cake, or cheesecake. Giving an excellent shine on surface! 😊

[@anabelramirezmojica8592]

Hello, can i make it with brown sugar?

[@SweetDumpling]

HI, @Anabel Ramírez Mojica, Yes, you can 😊

[@aimsensei4306]

A pinch of baking power is how many gram🙏

[@SweetDumpling]

Hi there, it's about 0.3g, it would be between 1/16 and 1/8 of a teaspoon. 😊

[@lh2301]

Can I use a orange 🍊 instead

Sure👌
