Never tried it, but apparently it's not that good. Like, super dry, and very basic taste.

The magic taste happens when the batter is exposed to air and heat through the gradual builds of layers?

I never thought I'd see the traditional cake from the region I grew up in on the HN frontpage :)

It's not a french cake, it's been brought to france

This looks like Baumkuchen, must be relative of sorts
