Torta de Azeitão

Torta de Azeitão is a traditional roll cake from Azeitão, near Lisbon. It is made from a dough of eggs, sugar, and corn flour, and filled with a rich egg yolk jam (doce de ovos). The small, yellow rolls are known for their smooth, glazed appearance and delicate sweetness.


Originating in the early 1900s at the "O Cego" bakery, the recipe has been passed down through generations and remains a local specialty. Despite many variations, the original recipe is a closely guarded family secret.
