Alajú
Alajú or alajuz is a Castilian cake originating in Cuenca in Spain. It is traditionally made with an almond base, roasted bread crumbs, spices, and honey. It is then covered with two wafers on the sides of the base. Almonds may be substituted with other nuts, such as pine nuts. In its most authentic form, Alajú is made in parts of Valencia bordering Castilla-La Mancha–especially in Ademuz and the Utiel-Requena region. Traditionally, the Utiel-Requena region is more Castilian, than Valencian–it was after all a part of the province of Cuenca until 1851. The cake is most popular in the municipality of Moratalla in northwest Murcia, near Alcarria. This is probably because honey is widely available in that region.
