Bolo rei
(King Cake)
Bolo Rei (lit. King’s cake) is a staple Portuguese dessert that is traditionally prepared and consumed during the Christmas holidays, from the 25th of December until the 6th of January. This round cake with a hole in the middle is typically covered with crystalized sugar, dried fruits, and nuts.
Although it has origins in France, the cake made its way into Portugal during the 19th century.
