Torta Paradiso

A classic in Italian pastry and the symbol of the city of Pavia, torta Paradiso is a simple sponge cake variation that mainly uses the three essential cake ingredients - sugar, flour, and butter. Created by Enrico Vigoni in the early 1800s, Torta Paradiso lends itself perfectly as a dessert all on its own, or to various tasty fillings like creams, custards, or spreads. The unmistakable softness, fragrance, and sweetness also make it a popular choice for a breakfast treat - accompanied by espresso, milk or tea.
