Fabulous French Cake Recipes
Whether you're looking for simple French cake recipes or something more elaborate, we've got you covered.
Our French cake ideas are gateautally gorgeous! Maple syrup financiers with roast figs, and pistachio and cardamom madeleines, are true classics, while for typical French cakes, an indulgent tarte au chocolat, a stunning gateau St. Honoré, a fantastic frangipane pithivier, or a sublime savarin cake with vanilla-Grand Marnier syrup, are the epitome of patisserie perfection. No list of French cakes is complete without a showstopping pear clafoutis, lighter-than-air Ile flottante, or melt-in-the-mouth macarons. If you’re going all out to impress, lavender and raspberry millefeuille, or a tarte tatin with cinnamon and star anise, are dinner party delights. Our French cake recipes are impossible to say ‘non’ to!
