I ordered several kg of wonderful lemons from Amalfi coast, so I had to find out what to do (I’m joking, it’s not a problem 😀 ), and between the many good things to do there was this simple but amazing cake, so perfumed, perfectly moist and it will keep its characteristics for days, almost…

Torta di Nocciole delle Langhe – Hazelnut Cake from Piedmont
I have collected quite a good number of hazelnuts in the garden, and it was quite a long job to break them 🙂 so I thought that after all that job it was a good idea to prepare a very good cake 🙂 It’s a very simple cake, but with such a great ingredient you…
Kringel
This is a very good cake typical of the Scandinavian area, but also Estonia and also some other countries. From all the recipes I saw, this seems to be more the Estonian version. But there are various versions, also with dried fruits or raisins for example. It has a very old origin, dating back centuries…
Torta di Mele – Apple Cake

Torta di Rose (Rose Cake)
Here it is another of my favorite cakes 🙂 and I tell you soon, there are no roses in the recipe, but the name is just because of the shape (I’ll tell you more, in my village of origin we call it also “Ricciolina”, which means small curls). This cake is typical of Lombardy region…
Crostata
It’s been a while without posting anything (in the last weeks we’ve been in Amalfi coast, Naples and Sicily, and we didn’t really want to use internet 🙂 ), so I think it’s time to do some new posts 🙂 This is one of the most typical cakes eaten for breakfast in the Italian families, and…
