Primorje Cake Preparation and Decoration

Primorje cake is a traditional cake from the region of Dubrovačka Primorje, made from eggs, sugar, almonds, a bit of flour, and lemon. It was decorated, with whipped sugar and egg whites. It is prepared for special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, confirmations, and various festivities. It’s always surprising how the homemakers, with a relatively limited selection of ingredients, manage to create such a delicious and airy cake. The quality of  Primorje cake is evident in the fact that it is still made today and even appears on formal menus, standing side by side with more modern and sophisticated desserts. Through Deša’s workshop, we aim to preserve this traditional cake from being forgotten.
