Bolo Rei _ Cascais 201512

"Bolo Rei" is a traditional Portuguese cake that is usually eaten around Christmas, from December 25 until "Dia de Reis", a reference to the Three Wise Men, on 6 January.

"Bolo Rei´s" recipe is from France with Louis XIV, which finds its way to Portugal during the 19th century when "Confeitaria Nacional" opened as Portuguese monarchy’s official bakery in 1829. The "Confeitaria" was the first to introduce this recipe to the country.

The cake is round with a large hole in the centre, resembling a crown covered with crystallized and dried fruit.Is baked from a soft, white dough, with raisins, various nuts and more crystallized fruit. Also included is the characteristic fava bean, and tradition dictates that whoever finds the fava has to pay for the bolo rei next year.A small prize (usually a small metal toy) was also included within the cake. The inclusion of the prize has been discontinued since mid-90s.

 

Bolo-rei é um bolo típico português que se come tradicionalmente entre o Natal e o Dia de Reis. O seu nome alude aos três reis magos.

A receita é de França de LuisXIV e veio para Portugal quando abriu a Confeitaria Nacional, pastelaria oficial da monarquia, em 1829. A Confeitaria Nacional foi a primeira a trazer esta receita para o nosso país.

De forma redonda, com grande buraco no centro, é feito de uma massa branca e fofa misturada com passas, frutos secos e frutas cristalizadas. Tradicionalmente, no interior do bolo encontravam-se também uma fava seca e um pequeno brinde, normalmente feito de metal. A fava dava a quem a recebesse numa fatia o direito de pagar o próximo bolo-rei, e o brinde dava sorte a quem o encontrasse.
