Skradinska torta is a unique Croatian cake originating from Skradin, hence the name. Although endless debates about certain ingredients (orange zest, lemon zest, Maraschino, mint, cinnamon) still exist, it is believed that only a few women from Skradin still have the original recipe. The base is made with eggs, sugar, rose liqueur, honey, and ground walnuts. After it has been baked, the cake is glazed with a combination of dark chocolate, milk, and butter, and it is then garnished with chopped and whole walnuts. In the 15th century, the cake was made by brides-to-be just before their first wedding night. If the cake is made for such festive occasions, it is recommended to additionally garnish it with geranium flowers and fresh green herbs such as mint.
