Household cake (Gâteau de ménage) (Slideshow version)
Stage 12/12 : 25 min.
Remove from the oven when the cake is golden brown, after about 25 minutes.Remarks
The domestic cake or "goumeau cake" goes dry rapidly, so best eaten on the day it's made.Unfortunately it's getting difficult to find a good household cake, even in its region of origin,the Haut-Doubs. By "good", I mean: fresh-baked that day, light, not just sweetened in a hurry, but with a true cream. It's a great pity that bakers from Franche-comté are allowing this traditional recipe to be forgotten.
