4Schiacciata Fiorentina

This light and airy cake topped with powdered sugar is a typical Carnivale dessert in Florence, often christened with a cocoa version of the city’s fleur-de-lis symbol. This cake has a height requirement as it shouldn’t be taller than 3 centimeters, and it’s made with simple ingredients.

Flour, sugar, egg, butter, yeast, milk, orange, cacao, and powdered sugar, come together to create this soft spongy cake, which is similar in shape to “schiacciate,” the flat salty bread used for Italian panini. Origin: Florence
