The almond cookies are "a must" of the Sicilian culinary tradition. They are prepared with the Almond paste, called "pasta reale" in Sicily (King's paste). The legend wants that the recipe was created in the XII century in the convent of the "Martorana" in Palermo and that his name is due to his goodness (worthy of a King!). These delicious cookies are as good as easy to do! Accompany them with a good tea, coffee or a glass of Marsala, the typical Sicilian sweet wine.

I have been really good lately and have stayed away from sweets, cakes and all junk food. So has my husband, but he had his PT test today and passed, so to celebrate, I decided to make a dessert for after dinner. I don't do this very often, actually, when I do make any kind of desserts it is during the weekend. But, I am in the mood for cake, and not a boxed cake or just any kind of cake. I was in the mood for a good old Portuguese cake with a nice egg cream in the center. Creme de Ovos (egg cream/custard) is one of my favorite things on earth, but I never make it, it's been many years. Today seemed like the perfect time, so here it is....a nice simple cake with a layer of egg custard in the middle and poured over the top, sprinkled with some powdered sugar and you have a divine dessert that your family will love. Bolo do Convento - Convent Cake For the cake: 2 1/2 cups of flour 1 1/2 cups of sugar 2/3 cups of butter 5 eggs Little bit more than 3/4 cups of milk 1 teaspoon of baking powder For the egg cream 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar 5 egg yolks Little less than half a cup of water First make the egg cream. Add the water and sugar to a saucepan and boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the egg yolks to a bowl and stir well. Pour the sugar water mixture into the bowl, a little at a time and mixing constantly. Pour the whole mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cake pan. In a medium bowl, beat the sugar with the butter, next add in the eggs one at a time beating well after each. Add in the milk, alternating with the flour, lastly, add the baking powder and mix everything well. Pour into the cake pan and bake for 40 minutes. Use a toothpick to see if the cake is done. Remove from the oven and invert the cake onto a plate. Let cool completely. Cut the cake in half, spread about 1/4 of the egg cream on one of the halves, top with the other half, then smear the rest of the egg cream over the top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon, if you wish.

This layered pastry from Italy's Amalfi Coast may have origins in a 17th-century convent.
Bakers in Portugal make over 200 different types of pastries and other baked goods, and most of them can trace their origins to the time of the arrival of the Moors. By the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, convents were employing women and nuns to make sweets to help support their abbeys and charity work, and sold everything from behind cloistered gates. Even today, many of the desserts still have names with religious connotations like toucinho do céu, which means "heaven's lard" or "bacon from heaven." The name is two-fold, because it uses pork lard to make the cake and also because it is an unbelievably delicious treat — and one of the most popular and traditional Portuguese desserts in existence.This recipe comes courtesy of EasyPortugueseRecipes.com.
