Enka, a family story centered around Basque cake

Enka is above all a passion passed down from generation to generation since 1807, when the bakery-pastry shop first opened in the town center. Years later, Nicolas took over and breathed new life into the shop while preserving the family's artisanal expertise. Deeply attached to his roots and traditions, he uses his ancestors' Basque cake recipe without altering it, a dedication to preserving the authenticity and flavors of this iconic regional cake. Indulge in the Basque cake with cream or the one with black cherry, both available in individual portions, for 4 people, or for 6. The crisp shortcrust pastry pairs perfectly with the melt-in-your-mouth center of the Basque cake, a delightful interplay of textures that will please every palate.
