Fugassa is a classic and very traditional Venetian cake, steeped in history and a fine example of the excellence that can come from simplicity.
The recipe calls for patience in the mixing, kneading and leavening and, of course, for the best ingredients including butter, sugar, flour and the mother dough herself.
Enjoy with a dollop of mascarpone cheese and tumble of a lightly cooked berry compote.
The handsome presentation tin makes this Fugassa very tasteful and generous gift indeed.
