Gateau Basque (French Pastry Cream Version)
Per Pierre-Yves Chupin in *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* , “There are 2 versions of *Basque Cake* , 1 based on cherry preserves & another on pastry cream (creme patissiere) that is always very popular.” A RZ search yielded several recipes for cherry preserves versions & none for the latter that I could find, so I am entering it here as he opted to do in his cookbook. (Time does not include time for dough to rise). *Enjoy* ! — *Edited to Add* — Despite extraordinary efforts to verify & correct this recipe + 2 tries at making it by Buddha, it appears the recipe may be faulted in some way. Details + photos of the recipe from the cookbook can be found at http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=261947&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30. If anyone can shed light on this prob, it would be welcomed. Until that happens, I plan to try to email the author & publisher to register a complaint. If they respond, that answer will be posted in this thread at that time. 🙁
