GÂTEAU BRETON RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Gâteau Breton Recipe - NYT Cooking image

With its soft, buttery crumb, this classic French cake is similar to a giant shortbread, though moister and more tender. Its hidden prune filling is traditional, although you can use other dried fruit, such as apricot, instead. In France you sometimes even see bakers sandwiching melted chocolate or caramel between the layers. This keeps well if you want to bake it 1 or 2 days ahead. Store it well wrapped at room temperature.

Total Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup/100 grams pitted prunes or dried apricots (about 16)
2 tablespoons/30 milliliters rum
2 1/4 cups plus 2 1/2 tablespoons/300 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/200 grams superfine sugar
Large pinch flaky sea salt
8 1/2 ounces/240 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks plus 1 tablespoon), diced, more for greasing pan
6 extra-large egg yolks

Steps:

  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine prunes, rum and 2 tablespoons water. (Use 1 cup/240 milliliters water if using dried apricots.) Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 5 minutes for prunes, 10 to 15 for apricots). Use a fork to mash into a thick purée. Cover and chill.
  • In a food processor, pulse to combine flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add 5 egg yolks and pulse until mixture comes together as a dough. Divide in half, form into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours or until firm.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap, roll one of the dough halves into an 8-inch circle. Transfer dough to prepared cake pan, pressing into edges. Spread prune or apricot purée across dough, leaving 3/4 inch border around outside edge. Roll second piece of dough into an 8-inch circle, transfer to cake pan, press around outside edge to stick the pieces together and seal in fruit purée.
  • In a small bowl, combine remaining egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water and beat lightly. Brush over top of cake, then use a fork to score a crisscross pattern into the dough. Bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes (cover with foil if cake is browning too quickly). Cool in pan 15 minutes. Flip onto a plate, then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

GÂTEAU BRETON RECIPE | DELICIOUS. MAGAZINE
Edd Kimber‘s gâteau breton is synonymous with the area it hails from, Brittany. It’s a cross between a cake and a biscuit: dense, moist and utterly delicious. Edd’s version, filled with a prune purée, is the most typical, although the cake can also be made with many other fillings, including chocolate and caramel. Take a look at our amazing Black Forest gâteau too – a totally different style of gâteau, but equally fruity and moist.

GATEAU BRETON | THEBESTDESSERTRECIPES.COM
Gateau Breton. "Breton butter cake is unlike any other cake I’ve tried, the crunchy crust quite short and dense but not as crumbly as shortcrust. It melts in your mouth and has a lovely flavour from all those egg yolks and butter. The interesting thing is that the Pays Basque have their own version – called, of course, gateau basque.
