It has been a long of time since the last post on this blog, too long. Let’s sweeten our life with this Gluten Free Lemon Mascarpone Cake because so many things have happened that I’m not sure where to start. For example, I changed the view from my kitchen.
We went from this:
to this:
We went from Buenos Aires to Milan, ending a long period of seven years in the Southern Hemisphere. With all that goes with it, emotionally, organisationally and now we are asking what the future have for us, in this old continent. For now we have a beautiful view to the Duomo, we have no kitchen at the moment and we are becoming “milanese” again.
Not content with these changes, the blog has been attacked by a virus that had to be as big as a rat, because we could not flush him out and then I took the opportunity to redo the look of the blog, I hope you enjoy it.
To start again I could not choose that one of my beloved simple, tasty cakes that everybody likes.
This cake had been prepared for the magazine Free that asked us to make some “grandmother cakes” recipes . A nice definition for spongy, fluffy , irresistible cakes, easy to do, so I though to a gluten free lemon and mascarpone cake.
I could not leave my beloved lemon, which combined with the sumptuousness of mascarpone realizes the perfect cake.
