Easter In Croatia And Traditional Easter Cake Recipes

CROATIAN EASTER CAKE ("PINCA")

Croatian Easter Cake (

This is traditional Croatian Easter cake. We usually eat "pinca" on Easter morning. I made it today for the first time (it is actually in the oven right now) so I don't know how it is going to be. I'll submit some photograph later. Anyway, this is how I did it:
