Torta Maria Luisa

(Maria Luisa cake)

Torta Maria Luisa is a traditional cake made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, orange juice, lime zest, berry jam, and powdered sugar. Once the sponge cake layers have been baked, they are chilled, then assembled with the berry jam sandwiched in between.


For the finishing touch, the cake is garnished with powdered sugar. When served, it is cut into wedges and accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee on the side. Maria Luisa cake is also popular in El Salvador.
