Today, when I opened my computer, on the front page of Mozilla Firefox was written:
“Eat dessert first today. Your taste buds will thank you”.
So I decided to delight you with this dessert: the Sbriciolata Cake.

There are several types of Sbriciolata. Today, I am showing you the Sbriciolata with mascarpone cheese and strawberries.
Sbriciolata is a version of Sbrisolona, a cake made in Mantua (the city of Lombardy, Italy). The base and/or the top of the cake are made up of a thin layer of Sable`Biscuit that gives it a certain crispness.
