Cryptic hashtag #ebtsc apparently means #EveryoneBakesTheSameCake. What a lovely idea! Looking at water mouthing cakes during breakfast & considering if I have time left to participate. Mhhhm, not today, maybe next time.

This Gâteau Breton (Breton butter cake) came out pretty good and has nice flavor. I've never worked with zest before but it really does add a nice dimension.

I have notes about my effort:

– My springform pan was too big (22 cm instead of 20 cm).

– I had trouble with the layers, pushing the marmalade to the edges while applying the top layer. I probably didn't freeze it long enough before adding the top layer.

– Not sure why the outside edge burned, maybe the sugar in the marmalade that got pushed out to the edges burned.

– Cake seems dry to me, even though it tastes good. Did I overbake it (because it's so much thinner in the larger pan), or is it the recipe? The only moisture in the dough was butter and egg yolks.

– I now have five eggs worth of egg whites, need to use them up on something.

My gâteau breton for #EveryoneBakesTheSameCake, shown before and after baking. I admit I added some baking powder and milk. And the cooling steps were different than the recipe too, but the final texture looks good. Thanks for the idea @ottaross

I learned about #EveryoneBakesTheSameCake on Sunday noon and had to join because it's such a great idea, thank you @ottaross

Here is my gâteau breton, it was my first time baking it but I recommend it: frustratingly quick, delicious and impossible to mess up.
