A penis cake is an adult dessert that resembles a penis, usually shaped like one, or a penis built on top of a regular cake. It is a very popular dish in Portugal, and is typically baked in a lobster-shaped tin. However, it’s not a good idea to buy a fancy pan unless you want to spend $12-20 on a pan.

Penis cakes are not new, but the craze is becoming a bit more popular. The ‘cake-as-penis’ trend is catching on in cities like Lisbon and Aveiro, where you can see penis-shaped bread in the window of a local family bakery. This unique confection pays homage to the willy cakes of northern Portugal, where the tradition began. Goncalo Azevedo, a Lisbonite whose family hails from the region, grew up exchanging phallic cakes with one another.
A penis cake is usually shaped like a penis or has one built on top of a regular cake. This unusual cake is popular for several reasons. One reason is because it’s a fun party favor. Penis cakes are traditionally served during festivals like the Sao Goncalo festival, a celebration of the local patron saint. At this festival, local lotharios hand out foot-long phallic cakes to lovers. Single ladies also receive bolos from well-meaning friends.
