Simple ingredients
In Vineyardin 1990, Dutch cake began with simple ingredients: butter, sugar, eggs, cream, milk, chocolate powder and maria biscuit. Despite the simple composition, the dessert was already a success in the small bar called ‘Café Bruges‘, which Silvia played. Local customers didn’t miss the opportunity to add dessert to the menu. If I left at lunchtime, it would only last a few hours.
Touches of Dutch cake
Like most of the extraordinary gastronomic inventions that have marked history, the Dutch cake also received its adjustments before becoming famous. And they came from someone very dear to you, your father. “He gave constructive criticism and said that the biscuit maria wasn’t the best solution, because it softened over time, so I switched to Calypsowhich remains to this day”remember.
Origin of the name
Until then the dessert had no name and a trip to England in 1989 changed this detail. The pastry chef went to the countryside with the intention of learning English in 30 days, after experiencing a tragedy in Brazil. However, reality shattered expectations and he ended up running out of money. This led her to work in the home of a Dutch family, who treated her with great affection and gave her a lot of support.
A year later her life changed, she was back in the country where she was born and her partner called her. “I received a call that I had to immediately decide what the name would be and, with all the gratitude I felt, I decided to pay homage to it. So I said ‘Dutch pie'”account.
Dutch restaurant
Later Silvia traveled to Holland and went to a restaurant. In the window he noticed that a version of the Dutch cake was for sale. With that, he decided to see where the story would go and asked someone who worked there what was on the menu. When it came to his turn to create, he made a point of saying that it was a dessert that every Brazilian customer asked for. Even though they didn’t know how to do it for a while, they found a way to learn, because people came to Holland and wanted to eat Dutch cake.
