Donne - Crostata fiorita - È sempre mezzogiorno - 09/02/2023

https://www.raiplay.it/programmi/esem... - Today Natalia is preparing a dessert that's perfect for these evenings dedicated to Sanremo. It's a tart made only with egg whites, and the result is slightly less flavorful but still delicious. Just choose a rich cream or jam so you can fully appreciate the flavor of the filling. Few people know that shortcrust pastry made with egg whites is easier to shape and decorate because it doesn't warp during baking. In this case, the cake is dedicated to Sanremo because Natalia's decorations are flower petals, which are actually much easier to make than you might think—just use a spoon and a teaspoon. Natalia prepares the shortcrust pastry in two colors: half the dough is light and flavored with lemon, and the other half is dark because it's made with cocoa. For the filling, Cattelani uses cherry jam because it has that tart note she loves so much, but she's always keen to point out that her cakes lend themselves to any kind of variation, flavor, or whim. Ingredients for the light dough: 100 g softened butter 100 g powdered sugar 40 g egg white Zest of 1 lemon 200 g plain flour ½ teaspoon baking powder For the cocoa dough: 100 g softened butter 100 g powdered sugar 40 g egg white 180 g plain flour 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder ½ teaspoon baking powder For the filling: 300 g cherry jam Baking: 180°C for 45 minutes
