Bolo Seco, translating to "dry cake" from Portuguese, is a traditional dessert originating from Brazilian cuisine. This dense, simple cake is typically made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk, often flavored with vanilla or citrus zest. Unlike moist cakes, Bolo Seco is characterized by its crumbly texture, ideal for pairing with coffee or tea. Nutritionally, Bolo Seco is high in carbohydrates and sugar due to its base ingredients, making it an energy-dense treat. It provides moderate protein from eggs, though it is not a significant source of vitamins or fiber. While delicious, it is best enjoyed in moderation, as its butter content contributes to saturated fat. Variations with whole-grain flour or sugar substitutes can enhance its nutritional profile. Loved for its simplicity and satisfying texture, Bolo Seco is a nostalgic staple in Brazilian households during casual gatherings or teatime.
