Loving this recipe! This cake is perfect for a snack, a dessert, or even at breakfast time. Light and perfect - everyone that's had it so far has lo...
This scrumptious cake is a Carneval-time favorite, and when you start seeing it in the local pastry shops around town in Florence, you know that Carneval is literally just around the corner. This flat cake is a fabulous starting point for amateur bakers, and provides a great launching pad for your adventures in the kitchen.
With a light orange flavor, and an optional dusting of powdered sugar on top, this indulgence won't even set you too far back if you're trying to keep an eye on your caloric intake. If you want to bump up the recipe with a notch of flavor and richness, the cake can be split in half and filled with pastry cream or chantilly cream, as is tradition in Florence.
Either way, this quick cake recipe is bound to provide your loved ones with just the right amount of sweetness they're craving!
