Aveiro Savoy Fingers

Aveiro's Palitos de Sabóia are strips of sponge cake topped with sliced almonds. A chapter published by UA Editora in 2024 describes them as a dry sweet that makes two trips to the oven. In one household practice recorded by the authors, they are also used instead of a spoon to eat ovos moles from a bowl.

A separately published culinary recipe uses eggs, sugar, flour, lemon zest, raising agent, salt and almonds, bakes the mixture in a tray and cuts it into 6 × 2 cm pieces. That recipe documents one possible formula, but does not prove that every Aveiro version uses lemon, raising agent or those exact dimensions. The image on this page is an editorial representation consistent with the documented sponge-and-almond strips, not a photograph from an identified producer.
