Reus recover a cake of wine created in the nineteenth century in the city

Patisserie Mare Molas from Reus has recovered a typical cake of wine was produced for the first time in a famous pastry shop in the city known as Las Glorias de Reus of the nineteenth century. "It was a very popular cake throughout Catalonia, people even came to Barcelona and other cities to buy," said the owner of the bakery Mare Molas, master artisan baker Francesc Torres, who in recent days has spent hours in the oven and has succeeded in making exact replicas of the old pie. Once developed, the aim is that this sweet return again to the homes of Reus. In fact, those who come this weekend at the fair “Reus Viu el Vi" can taste the typical cake. "It was made and sold," said Torres, who explained that no other municipality where it is Catalan produced the same cake. The baker finds that the fact that every time has been given more prominence to the negative effects of wine has led to the typical pastel Reus go missing. Torres has also revealed some of the ingredients of the old sweet white wine that is dry as a protagonist. The cake also has an English cream with egg yolks and sugar, and branches of arm gitano filled with raspberry jam. The cake had disappeared from circulation coinciding with the closure of Les Glòries and now Torres, who had spent part of his business in these pastry, with the support of the company Vima Events has recreated to coincide with the exhibition “Reus Viu el Vi”. Precisely the cake will taste the same fair, particularly in the gastronomic stand coordinates Vima Events. More information about "Reus Viu el Vi" here
