I've still never made it to Italy and yet I've had a yearning to go every since I can remember. I really like the simplicity of this cake, it has so few ingredients. I too am a butter lover, but I have used pumpkin butter and apple puree a few times in cakes to reduce the amount of butter needed and strangely it seems to work.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082356509405160940.post-90372332506327638532012-10-25T00:04:51.525+01:002012-10-25T00:04:51.525+01:00Yum, looks scrummy xYum, looks scrummy xHellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807645730097772321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082356509405160940.post-65755501020421237422012-10-24T22:18:19.841+01:002012-10-24T22:18:19.841+01:00What a lovely story about the city of Mantova, som...What a lovely story about the city of Mantova, somewhere I would love to visit some day.
