Gluten-Free Paradiso Cakes

Take some time for you and for this little piece of cake heaven. Invented by Italian priests, this dessert really is a slice of paradise.

Gluten-Free Paradiso Cakes

Of Lombard origin, the legend says that “Paradiso” (Paradise) cake was invented by a priest of the Certosa of Pavia, North of Italy. The cake was so good that, once tasted by the other priests, they gave it the name of “Paradise”. In 1878, the pastry chef Enrico Vigoni, owner of a bakery that still exists in Pavia, a town near Milan, picked up the recipe and made it famous throughout Italy.
