Andava eu a cirandar nos meus blogs de cozinha preferidos, quando encontrei um bolinho muito interessante, no blog http://paracozinhar.blogspot.pt/. Gosto imenso das receitas da Joana Roque, e tenho uma série delas na minha lista de receitas a experimentar. Esta pôs-me de tal forma curiosa que não podia esperar mais. Apetecia-me mesmo um bolo assim e saiu exactamente como estava a pensar, delicioso!

I like to wander through my favourite cooking blogs, it makes me relax. This was how I found out this cake, that made me curious about it the second I saw it. I knew it would turn out right, because I love the recipes from the http://paracozinhar.blogspot.pt/ writer. I had to try it soon: I was feeling blue and with a desire for baking... this cake was truly rewarding.
