Belgian Miserable cake... 4cmX4cm
Brought this from the Continent for you.
The Miserable is a wonderful almond sponge cake with a delicious buttercream filling: irresistible!
The cake is not as pitiful as the name suggests.
This small tart is among the top ten in the world of pastry.
Where it comes from is hard to figure out.
Around 1920 Pierre Gaelens works in Brussels at one of the most prestigious pastry shops in the country: 'Maison Jean Bol', run by two Swiss brothers.
There he learns to make Misérable.
The recipe he takes along to Knokke in 1932 and opens a bakery/patisserie on the Avenue des Arts.
In the Limburg Old Rekem they then claim that they made the best Misérable.
At the origin is a closely guarded secret recipe that baker Jan Jansen in 1929 brought back from Brussels and introduced in his village.
It has become the specialty of Old Rekem.
Another source indicates that the patisserie "Du Finistére" from Brussels, put almond cakes the first time in the shop window.
I could not find out the origin of the name though!
Such a delicacy... MISERABLE? I don't think so! LOL.
Thank you, M, (*_*)
