History

The dish most likely stems from millasson or millas,[1] a dessert originating from the south-west of France, made from millet flour and cornflour. Two layers form whilst the millasson is cooked, one being a custard layer and the other being a genoise layer, due to the mixing of sugar and eggs.

Preparation

The cake contains vanilla, eggs, milk, butter, flour, powdered sugar, salt and water.[2] The batter is liquid when it is placed into the oven and is cooked for around fifty minutes in a 160 °C (320 °F) oven. After it has been cooked, the top of the cake is golden and the middle wobbles slightly. It is placed in the fridge for two hours and then eaten cold.
