Gateau Nantais image

I learned this recipe on an exchange I took to France last year, a specialty of the city of Nantes which in days long ago was a port where things such as rum, almonds, and slaves were traded. The icing was a bit strong for me at first, but I took a liking to it. It was a hit with everyone who tried it when I got back. The French really know how to cook from scratch!
