The famous Welsh or Black cake Welsh cake, despite of what its name seems to indicate, did not come from Wales. Actually, it constitutes a sign of the strength of the first Welsh settlers who arrived in the Valley of the Chubut river and how they faced the difficulties the environment presented. There are many variations in this recipe, here we feature one of them.
