Thinking about supper, leaning towards doing something easy.

Kind of craving cake lately but we're cakeless.

Anybody out there ever make a Gateau Breton? Good results?

Thinking that might be a good project this weekend to satisfy my #cake craving, and use up some excess apricot jam on hand.

This recipe seems like a decent one that meets my expectations…

Helen Goh’s recipe for Breton butter cake with marmalade

There’s a ton of winter comfort in the rich, golden and indulgent cake with its appealing orangey edge

The Guardian
Most recipes have you make an apricot jam from scratch. I'll just use up a languishing half jar of jam on hand.

Hey maybe…

Why not join in and make that cake this weekend?
The first annual "Everybody Bake the Same Cake" event?

A separate boostable toot in construction…

@ottaross That's an interesting idea, could produce some amusing results.
@femme_mal it would be fun to see what people come up with.

@ottaross this looks both good and gluten-free.

Happy to have a Breton recipe that’s almond flour instead of buckwheat for a change.

I’ll be trying it soon.

Adding that it looks similar to almond cakes we get from La Fabrique Essentielle a gluten-free pâtisserie in Montreal.

@AlsoPaisleyCat interesting, maybe they're tapping into the same tradition.

@ottaross

A lot of Québécois traditional dishes come from Brittany.

The big buckwheat galettes are likely the best known example.
