Basque Cake, or "Gateau Basque," is a traditional dessert from the Basque region of France and Spain. It’s made with a buttery, almond-infused pastry dough and typically filled with either vanilla pastry cream or black cherry jam, offering a rich balance of textures and flavors. The cake’s golden crust is formed by an egg-based glaze before baking, creating a visually appealing, slightly crisp exterior. While its indulgent ingredients—like butter, sugar, and eggs—make it calorie-dense, the cake does contain protein from eggs and almonds. However, due to its high fat and sugar content, portions should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The inclusion of black cherry jam may provide a small amount of antioxidants, though the concentration is limited. Basque Cake exemplifies the region’s culinary traditions with its simple yet decadent recipe, perfect for special occasions or as a cultural treat.
