Crushed King’s Cake

Bolo Escangalhado (Crushed King's Cake)
Limited number available

Our Bolo Escangalhado is a wonderfully rustic Portuguese Christmas cake, known for its crushed, torn-apart shape and soft, sweet dough. The dough is rolled with gila — a traditional Portuguese sweet made from the fig-leaf gourd, cooked into fine, glossy strands. Gila adds a moist texture, gentle sweetness, and a delicate festive aroma that makes this cake truly unique.

Filled with candied fruits and nuts, it’s a softer, stickier, more indulgent variation of the classic King’s Cake — full of authentic Portuguese character and perfect for sharing during the festive season.

When it comes to festive desserts, the Norfolk St Bakery Christmas cakes are the ones to impress — made with heart, heritage, and a touch of Portuguese warmth.

Serves 10–12 slices.
