This brioche cake gains its name from its roots as a specialty of the French region of Lorraine. The origins of this simple and hearty Franco-Germanic dessert can be traced back to the 17th century. The preparation’s simplicity adds to its versatility, as many different flavors can be achieved by altering the incorporated ingredients. The dessert can be infused with fruits and liqueurs, and can be served with cream, powdered sugar, syrups, and rich icings.
