So proud, our Quinta has its own cake!!! 🥳
Although it wasn't planned at all, QUINTA DOS SORRISOS CAKE "happened" during past week. 😉
A long story in a nutshell:
Algarvian cake "Três delícias". 👍 Delicious indeed. 😋 From the moment we first tried it, we ordered it over ...
... and over again whenever restaurants had it available (which is rather rare).
Aida searched for the recipe for over ten years, many hours on the internet and in countless Portuguese dessert recipe books and booklets. Not even the Portuguese recipe "bible" has it ("Cozinha ...
Tradicional Portuguesa" by Maria de Lurdes Modesto) and Claudia, who makes them somewhere in Olhão or São Brás, didn't want to reveal it either.
A few weeks ago, we managed to get the last piece of "Três delícias" at a restaurant. It was just a glimpse of the deliciousness ...
that had been etched in our memory. 🤨 Enough of searching, asking & begging!!! We're going to try making it without a recipe, from scratch.
Aida's first attempt at making "Três delícias" this week was, despite one major mistake, so successful & good 👍 that this first cake ...
... was already much better than the original. 😋
Putting down the recipe, tweaking the quantities, and - voilà - here is a better version of the first Quinta dos Sorrisos Cake, which we will share and taste with friends and some of our guests this evening. 😘
Well, maybe the recipe will require some additional adjustments, but the satisfied faces and praises of everyone who tried the first version 🧡 are a guarantee that we will be baking this cake often at our Quinta. 👍
@threadreaderapp unroll. 🙏
