This is a typical Portuguese Easter cake, their is more than one, receipe, it all depends on where you live, from north to south the receipe varies. This receipe is more known in the Northern part of Portugal, (which is where I come from) I hope you all enjoy it as much as we Portuguese do. P.S. I always like to add in Lemon grind and some orange gives it a great flavour.
