"The Advocaat Cake (German Eierlikor Torte)"
Advocaat or advocatenborrel is a traditional Dutch alcoholic beverage made from eggs, sugar and brandy. The rich and creamy drink has a smooth, custard-like flavor and is similar to eggnog.
Fun Fact:
Advocaat is the Dutch word for "lawyer". As the name of the drink, it is short for advocatenborrel, or "lawyer's drink", where borrel is Dutch for a shot of an alcoholic beverage. According to the 1882 edition of the Dictionary of the Dutch Language, it is "so named as a good lubricant for the throat, and thus considered especially useful for a lawyer, who must speak in public."
