Let them eat cake! The story behind Quebec’s Queen Elizabeth II’s cake
Description
September 9, 2022
It is considered to be a very popular cake in Quebec — the Gateau Reine Elisabeth — but the origins behind this legendary dessert are somewhat of a mystery. Some say the cake was created in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Others say it was created 20 years earlier for her father. No matter the history, Le Gateau Reine Elizabeth is still a popular dessert. Global's Olivia O'Malley brings us the story behind the cake.
