\nDuring my stay in Andalusia (see the trip culinary by clicking HERE<\/a>),  I had the chance to visit Arcos de la Frontera shortly before Holy Week. It is indeed at this time that they prepare this typical cake of the city. I would have arrived earlier or at another time of the year, I would never have known this cake was so original! The shape gave me the impression that I was going to eat some kind of shortbread , but that was without counting on the delicious taste of anise, sugar and olive oil. I had seen the composition on the artisanal package and so I set to work at home to reproduce the recipe for you! The dough is a pleasure to work with and can be done in minutes. Moreover, these cakes are delicious with tea and can be kept for a long time in a suitable box . <\/div>\n
