Description
A traditional French dessert, basque cake is a simple looking but impressive tasting dessert. The classic buttery crust is filled with your choice of pastry cream or cherry jam. Almond flour is added to the dough for an extra bit of flavor and the unique nuttiness almonds bring to any recipe. The combination the crisp crust and the creamy, soft filling makes for the perfect dessert.
