Being from Nantes and now back living here, this post gets a 5-star thumbs up from me. My maman looooves this cake! We do a keto version now though as we changed diet 2 years ago, but still a must for anyone visiting Nantes 😊

There's such an energy to your writing, Jamie. And this cake is right up my alley. xx

I was so pleased to read your words, hear your voice, and taste cake! Lovely article Jamie!
Your writing is beautiful. The words made me feel like I had a front row seat to history. Thank you!

So, I guess I have to buy rum. 😁
If only all history lessons came with a recipe for a delicious cake. Thank you for sharing.
a) I am now sad I have never been to Nantes and b) I am so making this when I return home.
I'll be making it soon and will report back!

Fine writer and reader of Substack—we are starting a movement to get a poetry section added to the platform. Can I ask, are you with us?
