I know, I know … the kings are gone, as well as Christmas. But I couldn’t edit it earlier and, honestly, this Cake (of my) kings is delicious to eat at any time of the year.
In fact, at home, nobody likes the traditional King Cake, so I have made some versions that are more to our taste. This is undoubtedly one of our favorites.
There is a huge variety of King Cakes on the market, so my invention is nothing out of this world. It will be just another version but … allergy friendly.
King Cake is part of the Portuguese tradition and is typically eaten at Christmas and on Kings Day. The traditional cake has a round shape, with a large hole in the center, it is made of a white and fluffy pastry mixed with raisins, nuts and dried fruits. In the past, inside the cake, there was also a broad bean and a small gift, usually made of metal. Whoever found a broad bean on the slice he ate would have the duty to pay for the next king cake, on the other hand if he got the gift, the person who found it would be offered “good luck”. The story begins with king cake but, over time, traders felt the need to create variations, such as Queen Cake, for example, using only nuts and seeds.
Sablés de Côco / Coconut Shortbread Biscuit
De volta à edição de receitas. Tenho partilhado tanta foto mas editar é sempre mais complicado. Neste último mês e meio aconteceu tanta coisa. Entrámos em confinamento, novamente, as escolas fecharam, meteram-se férias pelo caminho, aulas online, quarentenas… Impossível chegar a todo o lado.
Oreos
Voltei, voltei… Voltei de lá… Vim aqui rápido rapidinho só para vos contar e aliciar a fazerem estas maravilhosas bolachas Oreo. No fundo será um grande problema porque vão querer comer até a última migalha antes de conseguirem rechear todas. Verdade, ficaram tão boas assim!
Carcaça / Loaf
Carcaça! Faz parte das minhas memórias de infância. Como eu adorava comer manteiga com pão (isso, não era pão com manteiga) e molhar no leite com café (cevada). Bem… gostava e gosto. É daqueles prazeres que me fazem viajar no tempo.
