Gâteau Basque
Gâteau Basque is a golden pastry cake with a tender almond-enriched crust and a center of vanilla pastry cream, black cherry jam, or both. Its scored top hides a rich, clean slice.

Make a buttery dough with flour, almond flour, sugar, egg, lemon zest, and salt, then chill it.
Roll one portion into a round pan and spread pastry cream and black cherry jam inside.
Cover with the second dough round, seal the edges, and score a crisscross pattern on top.
Brush with egg wash and bake until deeply golden and set through.
Cool well before slicing so the cream and jam hold their layers.
