Italian sponge cake recipe

February 11, 2015 By Andrea Leave a Comment

Tuscan sponge cake

I’m going to show you a typical Tuscan recipe. It’s very similar to the Italian sponge cake recipe, the only difference is that butter is replaced with extravergine olive oil. This way, the cake is less fat without losing any of his sweet taste. The sponge cake is also an ingredient for other desserts like the Zuppa Inglese
