Gâteau Magique (Magic Cake)
For a few years, a craze has been born around the “magic cake”. But the original recipe is a traditional dessert of the Southwest of France: the "millasson" or "millas". This old dessert was prepared with millet flour and then with corn flour.
With only one dough, three layers are obtained in the same cake!
