This Gâteau Breton (Breton butter cake) came out pretty good and has nice flavor. I've never worked with zest before but it really does add a nice dimension.
I have notes about my effort:
– My springform pan was too big (22 cm instead of 20 cm).
– I had trouble with the layers, pushing the marmalade to the edges while applying the top layer. I probably didn't freeze it long enough before adding the top layer.
– Not sure why the outside edge burned, maybe the sugar in the marmalade that got pushed out to the edges burned.
– Cake seems dry to me, even though it tastes good. Did I overbake it (because it's so much thinner in the larger pan), or is it the recipe? The only moisture in the dough was the butter and egg yolks.
– I now have five eggs worth of egg whites, need to use them up on something.

I learned about #EveryoneBakesTheSameCake on Sunday noon and had to join because it's such a great idea, thank you @ottaross
Here is my gâteau breton, it was my first time baking it but I recommend it: frustratingly quick, delicious and impossible to mess up.

It's that time of year again everyone! The third weekend of February is time for the…
First Annual "Everybody Bakes the Same Cake" event.
In 2025 there were zero participants… because it hadn't been started yet!
This year, there will probably be one participant, (Someone prove me wrong!)
We're making this Gateau Breton:

The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.
These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.
As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."
If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.
