Coffee vs. cappuccino: which do you prefer? Coffee for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every day should start with a smile, a hot cup of coffee and a slice of Paradise Cake.
\nA preparation\u00a0that sounds like a promise starting from its name.<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"Torta<\/p>\n

\"Torta<\/h5>\n

How my days start<\/strong><\/h4>\n
My days always start with the scent of the aroma of coffee just made that always I take with a few drops of cold milk.
\nBut no cake for me: I am an unconventional Italian and prefer a savory breakfast.<\/span><\/h5>\n

And no smiles. Not in the first 30 minutes from my wakening. <\/span>I wouldn’t smile even knowing that it is the day I’ll meet Santa Claus.<\/p>\n

Then there are the lazy weekend breakfasts, when I have more time and can allow myself to prepare a richer breakfast with coffee or cappuccino, orange juice, something sweet and something savory, bread and butter, fresh flowers. For the smiles see above, I don’t discriminate any day of the week and treat everyone equally.<\/p>\n

Today I am sharing a recipe for a classic baked cake of Lombardy origin, perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon treat.<\/p>\n

Torta Paradiso has been the merenda of many Italian children of my generation, including myself. I still remember the goodness of the first slice that I ate still warm, and that melted in my mouth, while a cloud of icing sugar tickled my nose.<\/p>\n

This is a classic recipe from the Italian baking tradition that deserves to be rediscovered.<\/p>\n

Buona cucina, Monica<\/p>\n
