Read more about this recipe
Our Soft Cake with Parmigiano Reggiano is a real Emilian delight, so - along with the King of cheeses - Prosciutto Toscano DOP could not be missing. Delicious and beautiful, it captures both the eye and the palate: whether it's an ordinary day or a special occasion, together with the Soft Cake, you'll bring to the table the atmosphere of celebration.
A cake can have any shape, millions of flavors, and all colors. There are number cakes, square cakes, and cakes that look like real sculptures, but if someone asked us to draw one, we would almost certainly start by drawing a circle. Probably because originally cakes were round like the moon and this was not due to a fortunate coincidence, but to a precise choice: cakes were offered and dedicated to the gods, and in particular to the Goddess Artemis, the guardian of the moon. During the ceremonies, some candles were added to the surface as a symbol of life and light to be blown out to ward off evil spirits.
Our Soft Cake is not sweet, but it catches the eye, conquers the palate, and knows how to earn a place of honor right in the center of the table. The flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano and a few genuine ingredients are enough to create an unforgettable Savory Cake that you can fill and decorate in a simple or elaborate way. We suggest pairing it with olives, cherry tomatoes, and Parma ham. The result will be a real -Emilian delight to be enjoyed - as always - in every part of the world.
