About Bica

Miriam presents bica blanca as a popular Galician cake from northwestern Spain. Egg whites and whipped cream create its white batter, with flour and sugar providing the cake’s structure and sweetness.

The cream gives the cake its rich character, while sugar and ground cinnamon form the surface finish. A small amount of salt belongs to the egg-white mixture.

The cake is dense and creamy rather than highly risen. Its rectangular shape and paper-lined presentation follow the source’s description of typical bicas, with cinnamon sugar scattered across the top.
