Between the sweets which cannot be missing from dessert menus is undoubtedly the traditional grandmother’s cake! It may be for its reassuring name, which tastes good and genuine, or for its simplicity but grandmother’s cake is still a tart much loved. A timeless classic, a perfect dessert for Sunday lunch that we want you to savor at its best, preparing a delicious fragrant pastry and a velvety custard. There are at least two versions of grandma’s cake: an open one, which includes the base and cream directly garnished with pine nuts and icing sugar, and a covered one, with a double layer of shortcrust pastry and custard in the centre. We opted for the latter and… we hope that your choice occasionally falls on this goodness too!
Like any typical recipe, grandma’s cake also has many original variations:
