Zucotto is a pumpkin-shaped Florentine dessert, literally means a small pumpkin. Zucotto is a hemisphere of sponge cake soaked in liqueurs, filled with chilled cream. According to legend, the first author of this cake was inspired by the shape of the dome of the Cathedral of Florence. I bake zucotto for all the holidays, because this is my husband's favorite cake. Therefore, in addition to any cake, he asks for a zucotto. This New Year, the zucotto was the first to disappear from the table, she did not even manage to photograph the cut. Therefore, I will show you an identical cut from the previous dessert.
