Let’s prepare together the Mimosa Cake

PREPARATION

In a non-stick small saucepan mix milk, sugar and a lemon zest.

Cook on a small flame while gradually adding the eggs whisked with the flour. Keep stirring until you obtain a thick cream.

Whip the cream and add it to the cold cream.

Cut horizontally one sponge cake in 3 round slices.

Soak the first one with the wine and limoncello with sugar.

Spread 1/3 of the cream and continue like this with the other layers.

Top with the sponge cake.

Fully top the cake with a thin layer of cream.

Cut the inside of the second sponge cake in small cubes resembling mimosa flowers and make them stick to the top of the cake.
