Zadar cake is a moist dessert made with almonds, oranges, and maraschino liqueur, topped with chocolate glaze. It perfectly blends Mediterranean flavors with tradition.

Ingredients:

8 free range eggs
4 larger oranges, not treated with pesticides
300 g of sliced almonds (not ground)
cup of sugar, about 150 g 
2 tablespoons of maraschino liqueur
2 cups (about ½ l) of double cream 
1/2 kg of cooking chocolate

Preparation:

Cut the unpeeled oranges into small pieces and boil them very briefly in a little water.
Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks. In a deep bowl, beat (or mix) egg yolks and sugar well, add almonds, boiled oranges and maraschino and combine everything. Add egg whites and gently fold them in. Pour the prepared mixture into a round greased cake mold and bake in the oven for about one hour at 150 degrees.                                                                                                                                                                                                      Glaze: Cover the baked cake with a chocolate glaze made from dark cocoa or melted cooking chocolate in sweet cream.
