Mimosa

The Mimosa cake is a dessert that has its roots in the tradition of Italian pastry, born to celebrate the Women’s Day. Its origin dates back to the 50s, when a pastry chef from Rieti created this soft and fragrant cake inspired by mimosa flowers, symbol of femininity and spring.
The name “Torta Mimosa” comes from its characteristic decoration: crumbled pieces of sponge cake cover the surface, recalling the small yellow flowers of the mimosa. This cake is prepared with soft layers of sweet sponge cake, stuffed with a delicate diplomatic cream based on custard and whipped cream, which gives a velvety texture and an enveloping flavor. The maître patissier Da Vittorio has created a tribute to the master pastry chefs, demonstrating how the great classics can be successfully revisited while maintaining their authentic soul.
