Bolo Rei & Bolo Rainha - Best Portuguese Christmas Cakes
Bolo Rei & Bolo Rainha - Best Portuguese Christmas Cakes
Bolo Rei (Portuguese King's Cake) is Portugal's most famous Christmas sweet. This fluffy cake with brioche type of dough is enriched with raisins, nuts and candied fruits.
This is Portugal's version of French Gâteau des Rois, similar to Roscón de Reyes from Spain and Rosca de Reyes from Latin America. Bolo Rei also shares similarities with New Orleans King Cake, associated with celebrations of Mardi Gras/Carnival in Louisiana. It's also somehow similar to Italian Panettone, in the way that it is a cake typically eaten around Christmas time, featuring soft dough with dried and candied fruits.
Following this course, you will be able to make genuine Bolo Rei at home, as well as the variation without candied fruits: Bolo Rainha. The recipe shared here is my family business award-winning recipe, which won BEST BOLO REI IN LISBON.
We will do everything in an easy to follow way, yet achieve professional results, just like if you bought Bolo Rei at a Portuguese bakery.
Don't worry about finding specific ingredients such as candied fruits, as we will also look into how to make these colorful fruits at home in a simple and accessible way for home-cooks of all levels.
This course will help you celebrate Christmas Portuguese style! Wether you are Portuguese, of Portuguese descent and you live abroad, or a foodie with curiosity to expand taste and home recipes beyond borders, we look forward to sharing these authentic Portuguese recipes with you.
Obrigado!
