A fast, easy, and cheap French cake. It keeps a week, and is better when a little old. If I want to dress it up, I serve it with creme anglaise or whipped cream. Recipe originally from one of my adult students, Yves.

I had some trouble getting the cake out of the pan. I think I'll grease the pan more next time.

The cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found the cake to be a bit dry. I think I might add some extra butter or oil next time.
