Gâteau des Rois------could be a contender. It is a creme filled brioche, made in various guises in France and here in Spain. Common around the holidays particularly. It could also have Polish origins. I read that a baker on a film set years ago, made a particular cake for the crew. The cake was given the name Tarte Tropezienne so that it could basically be patented, so the original name may have been different.
Sandra, that's not it - same idea, though. PJH
