An Italian cake recipe infused with Naxos Kitron liqueur
The traditional dessert "Torta delle Monache" suggests using the Cycladic liqueur as an alternative to limoncello.
The traditional Italian recipe "Torta delle Monache", also known as the "nun's cake", combines its aromas with the Cyclades through the use of Naxos kitron liqueur. This specific cake is prepared without conventional flour, featuring almond and ricotta or alternatively anthotyro cheese as its main ingredients.
According to the recipe, Naxos kitron liqueur can replace limoncello, offering a distinct flavor that pairs with the almond and cheese. The preparation also requires eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and salt, with baking taking 45 to 50 minutes at 180°C.
