my girlfriend has been in Portugal and he ate one of these, and she became obsessed with it. We trying to find the same type of cake but we don’t even know it’s name. Maybe it isn’t even Portuguese but I hope somebody can name it here

Pão de Deus
Looks like Pão de Deus
Those seem to me “Pão de Deus” – with cream.
The normal Pão de Deus doesn’t have that yellow pastry cream that I see on the picture. But you find them.
The translation of Pão de Deus is – bread of god
Edit – the “pastry chef” in my house just told me that it’s not pastry cream i see there. It’s glaze.
Apparently this cake originates in the ancient tradition of asking bread for God on November 1st (All Saints’ Day). You’ll find it at any Portuguese pastelaria. As others have said, it’s called pão de Deus. The version without the coconut on top is called arrufada.
THE BREAD OF GOD
Pão de deus/arrufada
“Pão de deus” or “arrufada”
Bread from god
Até o inglês do mano está puxadito
That bread is best ate with Butter and a slice of cheese and ham, while taking a sip of coffee with milk
