I want to show you another Italian cake that changes the idea of holiday baking. Torta Chianciano is originally from Tuscany. He was born in 1948 in the pastry shop of Signora Yole Marabissi. And since then, the Chianciano cake has been the "gastronomic flag" of the Tuscan town of Chianciano. Those who are familiar with the typical for any Italian trattoria Grandma's cake (Torta della Nonna) will easily recognize it in the base of the Chianciano cake: the same dome of shortcrust pastry and custard inside. However, in this dessert, imaginary simplicity is filled with elegance and sophistication. You need to cook this cake 2-3 days before serving. Firstly, you need to "stand" the biscuit, so it will be easier to work with it. Secondly, the cream must be cold. Thirdly, and this moment is the most important, the cake must be infused for 24 hours so that all the flavors come together. At first glance, it seems tedious. In fact, you just need to make all the preparations in advance, and assembling the cake and baking it takes no more than an hour.
