About the dish

Torta od rogača or kolač od rogača is a traditional carob cake that’s especially popular on the island of Vis. Although there are many recipes, the cake is usually made with a combination of flour, baking powder, vanilla, sugar, raisins, carob, eggs, oil, milk, grated apples, orange juice, chocolate, apricot jam, and dark rum. The ingredients are mixed and the cake is baked in the oven for about half an hour. Once baked, it’s topped with apricot jam and chocolate glaze. If desired, the cake can also be sprinkled with powdered sugar before it’s cut into slices or squares and served.
