Cake Zuccotto-"Children's holiday"

Description

As I promised, another cake on the Italian theme, created by Italian pastry chef and very popular in Italy. Why so called? He appeared in Tuscany, about in the 16th century. And there are two versions of the origin of its name. The first is the court cook of the king named it in honor of the dome of the Cathedral in Italy (zuccotto means dome ), and the second is the helmet of Italian warrior – infantryman in the shape of a half pumpkin (pumpkin in Italian sounds like "zucca"). One way or another, but the cake has a dome shape, and its composition necessarily includes an Italian meringue, both inside and outside. But... the modern version of this cake has undergone many changes, I want to introduce you to this. The cake baked for the kids, so he decorated accordingly. In this recipe add a photo of a piece of cake "Colosseum&am p;quot;.
