Classic Cake

Gâteau Breton with Apricot Filling

Hailing from France’s Brittany coast, gâteau Breton boasts a bright jam filling and a rich, dense texture, which elevate this rustic cake to a first-class confection. Its texture falls somewhere between pound cake and shortbread and the jam provides sweet acidity to balance the cake's richness.
