Carolinas are a typical patisserie cake from Bilbao. They are on my top list of childhood food memories and one of my favourite old time cakes. They also look really good, if you are looking for something different to serve in an afternoon tea. The perfectly pipped meringue sat on an egg custard and drizzled with melted chocolate and a sweet egg yolk mix looks stunning, as well as tasty. They are one of those cakes that becomes an icon to a city and region. Oh Carolina…
