Hi, I'm looking for a recipe for a Portuguese cake/dessert called ';cavacas'; - anyone know of one?

I haven't been able to find any such recipe on the internet. I know that it contains a high proportion of egg yolks, and the kind we ate had a sugary icing.Hi, I'm looking for a recipe for a Portuguese cake/dessert called ';cavacas'; - anyone know of one?
Cavacas


Also known as Portuguese Popovers





1 cup flour


1/2 cup oil


1/4 cup milk


4 eggs





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using electric mixer, beat all


ingredients for 20 minutes without stopping. Fill greased popover tins or muffin tins half to 3/4 full. Bake on middle rack; for moist Cavacas, bake for 45 minutes; for dry Cavacas, bake for 1 hour. Do not open the oven door. If you have a window in your oven you may find they get very brown after 20 minutes, but they won't burn.





Makes 4.





Frosting





1 cup confectioners' sugar


Water





Stir in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, as needed for thick frosting.





Hope that is similiar to what you are looking for. I've made these a few times and it's pretty good. Sometimes I also put some lemon zest in the frosting.
