Yield Makes 1 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large whole egg, lightly beaten, plus 4 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
Sift both flours, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until doubled in volume and pale yellow, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the butter in four parts, beating until completely combined after each, 1 to 2 minutes total. With the mixer on low speed, add flour mixture, beating until combined.
Transfer batter to prepared pan; with a small offset spatula, spread batter and smooth top. (If necessary, chill batter for 10 minutes before smoothing.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove pan from refrigerator. Brush top with beaten egg, and mark a crosshatch pattern with a knife. Brush again with egg. Bake until cake is deep golden brown and edges pull away from sides of pan, 40 to 45 minutes. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Remove cake from pan, and slice while still warm.

Dissolve the yeast in 125ml (1/2 cup) water. If using fresh yeast, go straight on to step 2. If using dry yeast, leave it in a warm place for 10-15 minutes until it's foamy/bubbly.
In the meantime, get the butter out and place it on a large sheet of baking paper. Fold the baking paper over in half, completely covering the butter (see video). With a rolling pin, beat down on the butter to flatten. This is actually much easier than you think. Roll it slightly to help it to flatten into a rectangle roughly about 23cm (9") x 15cm (6"), give or take. An inch either way doesn't really matter. Place the rectangular disc of butter back in the fridge until needed.
Roll the dough out to form a rectangle. Then fold the top third of the dough down, and fold the bottom third over the top you've just folded down. Take a look at the video, and this will be clear.
