ETA: mystery solved, I am boo boo the fool and didn't recheck the bakery's social media because last time I did I didn't find answers. Whoops. Here is their post describing the pastry: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7MFM18uVS5/?igsh=c2NoM2ViYTA1enhz Thank you Reddit sleuths! Howdy y'all! I got this amaretto pastry from Bova's Bakery Modern Pastry in Boston two years ago, and it was possibly the best dessert I have ever had, and it has haunted me ever since. The thing is, I absolutely CANNOT find a recipe that makes anything resembling this pastry! There are so many bundt cakes, poke cakes, regular cakes, cookies, tiramisus...But none of them result in this layered, rectangular pastry with a textured topping, which means there might be something close, but not this fantastic dessert. Any ideas? I appreciate any sluething y'all have, thank you!! Since I am required to add a recipe per sub rules, the closest thing I believe I have found is a one minute video from Good Housekeeping UK titled "Amaretto Cake" from 7 years ago. But it isn't layered or has whatever the textured topping is. Here is that recipe: 250 g unsalted butter, softened 250 g caster sugar 4 large eggs 200 g self-raising flour 1.5 tsp baking powder 75 g ground almonds Zest of 2 lemons For the amaretto drizzle: Juice of 1 lemon 50 ml amaretto For the icing: 300 g sifted icing sugar 1 tbsp amaretto 3-4 tbsp lemon juice 20 maraschino cherries with stems to decorate submitted by /u/WeRoastURoastWithUs [link] [comments]
