Gâteau Basque is a traditional cake from the Basque region of France and Spain, with its origins believed to be in the 18th century. Made using a special artisan pan, the result is a flaky pastry crust exterior paired with a creamy custard-like filling with a delicate almond flavor. Both elegant and simple in its presentation, the two textures are perfectly balanced, making our Gâteau Basque cake a sophisticated and unique dessert treat. A must-try for anyone who loves custard desserts and already a staff favorite.

Our Gâteau Basque is a simple cake, but it is full of flavor. The almond-flavored pastry custard filling is rich and creamy, while the crumb-textured pastry cake itself is chewy yet tender, with an exterior that adds a touch of sweetness and complexity. The Gâteau Basque cake is so revered that it has its own museum as well as a two-day festival in Cambo-les-Bains, France dedicated to the cake.

Gâteau Basque cake is delicious on its own, but it can also be enjoyed with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream. It is a perfect artisanal dessert for any occasion, and equally at home on a brunch buffet. This unique French pastry is sure to impress your guests with its unique flavors and texture. Each Gâteau Basque is 35 oz., and slices to serve 8.
