Description
This recipe is very old and is a take on a pound cake, except the crumb is very fine - almost "sand-like." It has a lovely flavor and tastes great if served with a fruit sauce, such as strawberry. Please note that this recipe is being translated as it originally was written; there will be an ingredient listed that is no longer made but please read the note as to the proper substitution.

Ingredients

 * 1 lb. butter (Must use butter here - NO SUBSTITUTIONS)
 * 3 egg yolks
 * 3 whole eggs
 * 1 lb. sugar (2 1/4 cups)
 * 1 tsp. vanilla extract
 * 1 lb. Potatine flour

Directions
Note: Potatine flour is no longer made. Substitute with 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour and 2 cups cornstarch. This is as close as you will get to the consistency of the original Potatine flour.
 * 1) Cream the butter and add the yolks, whole eggs, sugar and vanilla. Blend thoroughly. Add the flour and make sure everything is mixed completely.
 * 2) Pour into a greased springform pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
