Italian Breakfast Cake is not your typical cake. This is a cake made with a dough instead of a batter. There’s no leavening in it, so it doesn’t rise. The dough is pressed into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan, brushed with an egg wash and baked. This little cake has a big shortbread cookie taste that is scrumptious. A little crisp on the outside with a buttery shortbread consistency and taste that is addicting. Regardless if you are drinking tea or coffee, this cake will compliment it perfectly. Enjoy!
