Torta od skorupa is a Croatian cake hailing from the city of Dubrovnik. This rich and flavorful dessert features a creamy almond filling sandwiched between layers of softened biscuits. The heart of the cake lies in its filling, with fragrant mixture of milk skin and lemon zest, that is combined with whipped egg yolks, sugar, butter, and a generous amount of almonds, creating a smooth and luxurious center.

The filling is layered generously between ladyfingers, petit beurre or similar biscuits that have been softened with a touch of milk or rum. Some variations call for whipped cream folded into the filling for added lightness, while others forego the citrus rinds altogether, opting for a richer, purely almond-flavored cream and a whipped cream topping.
