"Fashioned after a traditional French gateau Breton, the gateau Basque and even the galette des rois—all cakes made of sweet or quick puff dough doubled up and filled with fruit or cream or nuts—this cake, uniquely Louisianan and lovingly called gateau nana, takes inspiration from each."
"It's a play on the traditional French gateau Breton or the gateau Basque. Instead of being filled with almond, marzipan, almond paste, it's full of beautiful pecans. It's great for a dessert. It's great for a breakfast snack. It's great for an afternoon snack."
Gateau Nana is a distinctive Louisiana cake that draws inspiration from traditional French pastries including gateau Breton, gateau Basque, and galette des rois. These French cakes are typically made with sweet or quick puff dough layered and filled with fruit, cream, or nuts. The gateau Nana distinguishes itself by replacing the traditional almond, marzipan, or almond paste fillings with pecans. Originating from the Kitchen Shop in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, this versatile cake serves multiple purposes as a dessert, breakfast snack, or afternoon treat, making it a practical addition to any kitchen.
