Gâteau Breton




When I read Rose's description of this cake, I had to make it. She had me at shortbread. I absolutely love shortbread. It was a very easy cake to make. I made it for my mum for Mother's Day. My brother's first comment when he ate it was "it tastes like shortbread" and I didn't even tell him what it was supposed to taste like. I will definitely make it again. It's worth every calorie.

  7. Absolutely scrumptious, Rozanne! The photo of the texture of the inside of the cake is perfection.

    Hope you had a happy Mother's Day!
