Portugal - Pastéis de Nata
These gorgeous golden custard tarts are utterly irresistible. From their rich sweet filling to the crisp flaky pastry, what's not to love?
Denmark - Brunsviger
Hands down, one of my favourite things I've made in the last few months. A must try! I couldn't get enough. Why have I never made it before?! Who knows. Just know I'd make it again in a heartbeat.
Germany - Maulwurfkuchen
A traditional German cake, often eaten for birthdays. Maulwurfkuchen translates to ‘Mole Hill’ and I’m sure you can see why. It consists of a chocolate sponge which is hollowed out before being filled with sliced banana. It is then topped with the biggest mound of whipped cream you’ve ever seen (speckled with crunchy chocolate flecks) and finished with the chocolate crumbs that were scooped out earlier.
Austria - Linzer Torte
This is one I'll definitely be making again! So delicious. A perfect short and crumbly hazelnut pastry spiced with cinnamon, ginger and lemon. Filled with raspberry jam and topped with demerara sugar for that extra crunch
