This Pomegranate Cake Has Zagreb Dessert Fans Obsessed

It‘s been a long time since we‘ve, to be illustrative, drooled over a cake like we did when we saw the latest post from a favorite pastry shop for many. Namely, TORTE i to, which you can find not only in Zagreb but also in Mali Lošinj, have introduced a pomegranate cake to their seasonal offer, and we simply adore those tangy-sweet, juice-filled berries. An airy sponge cake in three layers with light mascarpone cream and fresh pomegranate seeds sounds like a dream come true for all lovers of pomegranate, also known as mogranj or šipak.

"The cake was created as a second version of our New Cake, which is usually made with strawberries. Since there are no strawberries now, we tried making a version with pomegranate and it turned out even better than the original with strawberries!" they told us from TORTE i to, revealing that they heard at one birthday party where they delivered it, guests almost fought over the last slice.

They add, however, that the cake is available exclusively by order and it is not and will not be available in their cafes, neither at the three addresses in Zagreb nor in Mali Lošinj.

"There are 12 to 14 slices in the cake, it is made only as a whole by order, because making it is harder and takes longer, and those pomegranate seeds go everywhere," they add, explaining that this is why the price is a bit higher: "The price of this cake is 70 EUR and we have it available for order only in Zagreb."

Otherwise, this cake consists of a light spelt sponge, mascarpone cream, apricot jam, it is soaked with freshly squeezed orange juice and additionally filled with refreshing pomegranate seeds. So, we can safely say that their cheesecake now has serious competition.

And since pomegranate is a well-known antioxidant, according to some research even more powerful than green tea, you have a perfectly justified reason to enjoy this treat. No less important, it also stimulates the secretion of the happiness hormone - serotonin, so you‘ll be even happier when you taste it. We certainly will.

You can order the cake by calling +385 98 613 461 and +385 1 3090 155 at least three days before the desired delivery date.
