Portuguese Cake – Portuguese Cake Recipe – Italian Cuisine

First prepare the shortcrust pastry: put the flour and sugar in a bowl and pour the salt, lemon zest, eggs and butter into the center.
Knead quickly until a homogeneous dough is obtained, then cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Heat the milk with vanilla and lemon peel: once it has boiled, turn it off and let it cool.
Work the eggs with the sugar and the liqueur.
Once cool, add the milk.

Pick up the pastry, roll it out in a fairly thin sheet and use it to line the slightly buttered tart mold.
Level the edges.

Arrange the ladyfingers on the whole surface, in a herringbone pattern, covering the whole bottom.
Pour the egg mixture over it and let it rest for 10 minutes, then sink the ladyfingers again in case they are raised, so as to equalize them.
Bake for about 35 minutes in a preheated convection oven at 180 ° C.

The Portuguese cake is ready: let it cool completely before serving.

Cake of Padre Pio – Italian Cuisine

1st day (Sunday)

Put in a bowl (not plastic, I recommend, then glass, wood or steel) put in the bowl 1 glass of flour and 1 of sugar without mixing.
(If someone gave you the mixture, pour it in the bowl before adding sugar and flour … I didn't have it and therefore I started from scratch).
Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and set aside (not in the fridge, at room temperature).

2nd day (Monday)

Take back the bowl, mix the powders with a spoon (no plastic, remember, so I opted for the wood), cover the bowl again with the tea towel and set aside again at room temperature.

3rd and 4th day (Tuesday and Wednesday)

You don't have to do anything, always leave the bowl at room temperature well covered under its tea towel.

5th day (Thursday)

Add 1 glass of flour, 1 glass of sugar and 1 of water to the bowl, but do not mix.
Cover again with the cloth and keep aside (always out of the fridge).

6th day (Friday)

Stir with a wooden spoon, then cover and leave at room temperature.

7th, 8th and 9th day (Saturday, Sunday and Monday)

Again you don't have to do anything, leave the bowl covered at room temperature without touching the dough.

10th day (Tuesday)

Mix with a wooden spoon, then remove 3 glasses of compost that you can donate to whoever you want.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the remaining dough: 2 glasses of flour, 1 glass of sugar, 1 glass of seed oil, chopped walnuts, chopped chocolate, raisins previously kept for 10 minutes in hot water and then gently squeezed, eggs, cinnamon and baking powder.
Although I followed everything literally, my final compound was too thick, so I added a little bit of additional water to make it more fluid and of the right consistency.

Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, make the 3 wishes and cook for about 40 minutes at 180 ° C in an already hot ventilated source (if you wish, you can ask the saint a prayer during cooking).

Padre Pio's cake is ready, you just have to let it cool before cutting it and finally have the pleasure of tasting it!
