Zuppa Inglese Recipe (Trifle Cake) | Italian Desserts
===========
To make this Zuppa Inglese recipe, you simply need 3 layers of cold sponge cake (called pan di spagna in Italian), pastry cream (custard) for the cake filling and some kind of liquor to soak the cake layers. In this video recipe, you'll learn...
How to make sponge cake
How to make pastry cream
Traditionally, Italians use a red liquor called Alchermes for soaking the cake, sweet marsala or cherry liquor with a bit of natural red food coloring for punching up the red color. Alternatively, you can use cherry juice.
This Italian dessert is similar to an English trifle-one of the possible origins of the dessert. Instead of making a layered cake as we do in this video recipe, you can layer the cake and custard into a trifle bowl or pyrex bowl or dish. The beauty of this cake is in the visible layers and the contrast of the red cake and the pastry cream.
