Thank you for this rainy (in southern Ontario) Sunday gift Jamie. Beautifully written, poignant history. Just need to pick up salted butter and rum...

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 😊
