Our love for limoncello is no secret- and turns out, it tastes just as good in a cake as it does in an aperitivo glass.Limoncello is a quintessential Italian liqueur made from the zest of lemons found on the Amalfi Coast, sugar, water and of course, liqueur- most often times grappa but occasionally vodka as well. It tastes fantastic on it's own as an aperitif before a meal or digestif after a meal, but as it so happens, it's equally as tasty when infused into baked goods, particularly cake. Behold, our new favorite dessert: limoncello cake!While we love a lemony dessert on its own (we're looking at you, ricotta cookies) the limoncello adds something a little extra special. Since limoncello is made from the peels of lemons, there's a slight bitterness to it - which perfectly balances the sweetness of this cake. A super fluffy, whipped mascarpone buttercream ties it all together - and who could resist some extra lemon slices for decor?
