Jeanne's cake

Like most Winnipegers, there is only one picture that comes to your mind when you hear the words ‘birthday cake’. You think of that rectangular log with the shaved chocolate curls on the sides and the cookie on the bottom. I’m talking about a Jeanne’s cake.

I’ve always been partial to a marble but some prefer the banana. I’ve tried the round ones that you can get at other grocery stores but lately I often go direct to the source. Some people don’t like the cookie bottom or find the cakes dry but, for me, it’s the definition of a birthday cake. For a lot of the former Winnipegers who visit, it’s often one of the things they want.
