Easter Italian Cassata Recipe
Traditional cakes will definitely be on our family Easter table. But it so happened that not all of our children eat them. And this recipe is just a godsend! Delicate sponge cake. Juicy, soft, the case when they say - you can eat with your lips. They did it for their grandchildren, but the adults had to stop! There is a Cassata on the website. The difference is in the ingredients, so the recipe is published. Happy Easter to everyone! Peace and joy!
