Le Délice Gâteau Basque Art No.: 27297 Weight: 1,000gr. / 35 oz QTY in Box: 5

Traditional French shortcrust pastry that holds a delicious pastry cream filling.

Typically Gâteau Basque is constructed from layers of a wheat flour based cake (a butter-sugar pastry dough, in this case pâte sablée, not brisée) with a filling of either black cherry jam or almond or vanilla pastry cream.

It is traditional to mark a Basque cross on the top if the cake is filled with black cherry jam, or to use a crosshatch pattern on top if filled with pastry cream.
