25 French Sunday Cakes Almost Unknown in America

Many French families never bought a Sunday cake. They baked one plain loaf, put it under a cloth, and sliced it all week. Grandma Madeleine shares 25 real French home cakes, from quatre quarts, marbled cake and gateau nantais to gateau basque, pain de Genes, gateau de Savoie, the spit cake of Aveyron, the failed cake of Paris, the hazelnut cake of the Creuse and a sweet potato cake from Reunion Island. Each one comes with its French story, told as honestly as the sources allow, and a practical method with American cups, pan sizes and Fahrenheit temperatures, plus what to buy at a normal US supermarket. #frenchcakes #frenchbaking #grandmamadeleine #sundaycake #frenchdesserts
