Tactical mistake: I ate a second slice of the Breton butter cake.
This stuff is somehow more calorie dense than pure butter.

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.

Rather fun how a proposal born out of my late Friday evening craving for cake has caught on and cake enthusiasts around the world are jumping in to bake the same cake along with each other. Gotta love Mastodon!
It's like #Monsterdon, but the monster is our desire for cake. #ebtsc

@slothrop nicely done!
And here we are! Breton butter cake 🍰🤩😋
Cake eaten. It’s good!
The whole thing is very dense and rich. This isn’t a light fluffy cake; it’s one where you eat two slices, and then go out and dig through a field or something. I’m estimating nutritional values along the lines of a Snickers bar.
The center was a bit liquid-ish, maybe because it hadn’t fully cooled yet.
5/5, would bake again
