Directions

To be perfect, this cake originally from Capri, must to be soft and moist.

A story tell that a chef from capri, Carmine Di Fiore in 1920 made this dessert by accident, forgetting to add flour to the dough. The result was a delicious dessert, with a crispy crust and a moist heart!

I love it!

You can embellish your cake with elegant stencils and serve it with a #tuft# of whipped cream!
