About this recipe |
Over the years, I have been making desserts that were more and more complex, as I was trying to keep up with new challenges, and new pastry techniques I was discovering. I think that's what I like in baking : you never reach the ceiling : There are always new challenges in the evolving world of Pâtisserie, a world that never sleeps !
This is a recipe by MOF Vincent Boué, a top French chef. You will like this cake, period.
If you are in a hurry - You don't have to make the caramelized apples and cream, you may just try the cake, which is itself wonderful...
