Description
This cake is wonderful because it can be easily customized. You can add different nuts, dried fruits, or change the cream. In my opinion, a creamy lemon frosting suits it best. And expensive mascarpone can be replaced with cream cheese or sour cream. So don't be afraid to experiment, and enjoy your meal.
