March 8: CAKE Mimosa MA FACONNE
March 8, festival ', no party, mimosa,' mimosa no strippers ... I would say no, but intended as a mimosa-flowers-is', even throughout the spring, not only on the 8th March!, because it has a scent that I love her yellow ball and bring joy. Mimosa understood as the cake, usually no, I do not like crabs ... so I thought I'd do it my way.
So off to the yellow sponge cake, saffron, cream and pineapple are the ingredients of this sweet spring, plus a touch of basil in order not to miss the green of those funny little quilts that are the leaves of mimosa. I recently tasted a tavern in the Brianza a dessert of pineapple served with chopped basil leaves + lemon sorbet and mint. I was surprised by the extreme freshness of the combination pineapple / basil and a lack of aggressiveness of a 'grass that usually makes you feel much, but the sour taste of the exotic fruit that helps to dampen. View is taken, or rather tasted it and copied it! INGREDIENTS
