This is a recipe of the French classical small shell-shape sponge cakes. To get the shell shape you need to have a special shell-shape baking form, which is sold in kitchen or baking stores. The cakes come with many different flavors like citron, orange, vanilla or almonds.
This recipe will give you three cakes in one by using one mixture. The cake will divide itself in three different layers while cooking in the oven. The result is a cake with a fluffy sponge bottom, a creamy custard middle, and a moist dense top layer.
This is a brioche that is only known and sold in the bakeries in the town Rosheim in the region Alsace in France.
