Marta Rocha Cake – A Slice of Elegance and Memory
SKU:
VENDOR: With Love Wood & Cocoa
I still remember the Sundays. The smell of sugar in the air, sunlight dancing on the kitchen tiles, and my grandmother humming softly as she assembled her most beloved cake: the Marta Rocha.
She always said this cake was special—named after Brazil’s first beauty queen in 1954, a woman as graceful and layered as the dessert itself. It began with sponge cake, half vanilla and half chocolate, baked light as air. Between each layer, she’d spread silky pastry cream, a swirl of apricot jam, caramelized walnuts for a gentle crunch, and the soft sweetness of meringue.
We still make it that way. This 6-inch cake weighs around 1.5 kg and serves 10 to 15 people. A quiet celebration of heritage, flavor, and the kind of love that’s baked into every bite.
Contains: eggs, milk, tree nuts (walnuts), wheat (gluten).
