Among the sweetest memories that tourists bring with them from a trip to the Amalfi Coast is, undoubtedly, the unique taste and the unmistakable scent of sweets with lemon. Many specialties, created by pastry chefs of the place (custards, sorbets, cakes, cookies) have, as their main ingredient, lemon. A tradition that continues even in the kitchen of the houses where prepare delicious desserts and cakes (and not only).

This moist and fragrant recipe is a little tribute to my South, warm, friendly, full of colors and scents. Unique. Places where everyone feels at home.
