I totally thought this was a cake.
The only thing bad about it is the presentation. Making it look like a cake and serving it in slices is playing games with people’s expectations of what sweet and savory are supposed to look like. We’d have no problem with these same ingredients served as finger sandwiches.
The cake is a lie
They are called cold-cake in Brazil!
5 yr old me was very disappointed, disgusted, and may have thrown up when I found out it wasn’t just some icy cake
