November 17, 2018 – Sweet Korčula, an island with a seemingly endless supply of fabulous traditional home-made cakes and desserts. We are very grateful to Franica Tasovac for allowing us to serialise her excellent books called Sweet Korcula, Sweeties of Korcula Grannies (in English). It is a collection of no less than 30 ancient recipes for Korcula cakes and desserts, lovingly put together into a book. A delightful souvenir or gift for gourmet friends. Franica has kindly allowed us to serialise the recipes on TCN, and we will be bringing you a recipe a week from the kitchens of Korcula’s grandmothers throughout the year. You can read Claudia Tarle’s lovely introduction here.

TORTA OD MINDOLITORTA OD MINDOLI
(Almonds Cake)

5 eggs 
150 g sugar
180 g almonds
lemon and orange zest
200 g marmalade
2 tablespoons water 

Put the almonds in the oven, about ten minutes at 170°C. Grind finely the cooled almonds. Mix egg whites into firm snow. Whisk yolks and sugar into a foam until the sugar dissolves. Gently stirring, add the lemon and orange zest and ground almonds. Stir all and pour into a mould lined with waxed paper.

Bake the cake in preheated oven at 150°C for an hour.

Mix marmalade and water thoroughly, and keep warm. Coat the baked and chilled cake with hot marmalade.
