Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend that you carefully check the product page before purchasing and contact the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote and make Italian food Made in Italy more accessible. We select e-commerce food sellers with coherent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is linked to an identifiable seller and a complete information sheet: we want buying here to mean buying with confidence.
Delivery times and costs depend on the seller and the destination. At checkout you will always find the current delivery estimate before confirming payment. For international shipments, times may vary depending on the country and the carrier.
Beat the eggs with the sugar for a long time until you obtain a well-aerated, fluffy, foamy mixture. Flavor with vanillin.
Sift the flour over the mixture, combining it, then pour the batter into the rectangular 20x30 cm pan, buttered and floured, and bake at 180° for 25/30 minutes.
Remove the sponge cake from the oven, unmold it and let it cool on a rack.
Line the Ø 20 cm cassata mold with plastic wrap and cover the bottom with a sponge cake disk cut to size.

Pass the ricotta through a sieve, add the icing sugar and the flavoring, then whisk until creamy.
Add the candied fruit.
Fill the sponge cake shell with the filling, leveling it.
Cover with a second sponge cake disk cut to size and place a plate on top, pressing lightly.

Unmold the cassata onto the rack, placing it on a rigid disk of slightly smaller diameter that will allow you to move the cassata easily.
Brush the cassata with the warm apricot jelly.
On a sheet of parchment paper dusted with icing sugar, roll out the almond paste already colored with a tiny amount of green food coloring to a thickness of 3/4 mm.
Wrap the edge of the cake, leaving a few mm of excess.
Remove any remaining icing sugar with a brush dipped in a little white liqueur.
Prepare the glaze by whisking the ingredients indicated, set aside 100 g, and pour the rest over the surface of the cassata, covering it.
Strengthen the remaining glaze with the 20 g of icing sugar and, using a piping bag with a small round nozzle, make the dots on the edge and the decoration on the green band.
Put it back in the fridge for a few hours and, before serving, finish the center of the cake with a garnish of candied fruit.
