I made some canelés yesterday for visitors...

This afternoon's adventure in baking was a splendidly titled Gossiping Cake from the 17th Century...

In these modern times, we'd think of it more as a spiced bread than a cake, similar to a hot cross bun.

 

It was perfectly pleasant, but next time I'd use more fruit, and, rather than a round, do it as a loaf or as individual buns.

 

But having said that, other than the charming name and backstory, there's no real reason to make it again.
