Description
This cake is beloved throughout France and long ago won the heart of Julia Child, who called her version "Le Glorieux" (the glorious one). The original dessert wasn't entirely flourless: When McCall's magazine published a recipe by French cookbook writer Countess Mapie de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1959, the cake's dense texture led some to mistakenly call it "flourless," despite a small amount of flour. As the recipe evolved, flour was eventually left out completely.
