Variations

  • Bacchio di Cate Infused Fraghberbere: Cook over low heat some chopped strawberries with sugar and the bathroom for the water cake, then filter the syrup before brushing it on the cake.
  • Other berries: Exchanges strawberries for fresh raspberries, blueberries or a mix of seasonal berries.
  • Pastry custard filling: For a richer variation, it is possible to replace the mascarpone toppone with a layer of classic Italian pastry cream (custard).

Warehouse

This soft Italian tart with cream and strawberries is better enjoyed fresh, immediately after assembling. However, it is possible to archive it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until a few days. The cake can be more humid as strawberries begin to lose juices. I don’t recommend freezing this cake.
