Imbrucciata

An imbrucciata

Imbrucciata (pl.: imbrucciate) is a typical Corsican dessert, similar to a small fiadone but, unlike this, it has a bottom layer of shortcrust pastry.[1][2] The ingredients of the filling are brocciu cheese, sugar, eggs and lemon zest.[1]

The cake has a round shape with small bits of pasta around the edge: these result from pinching the dough during the preparation.[2] Its diameter ranges from 8 to 10 cm, and is 2 to 3 cm. thick. After being baked in oven with moderate heat, the cake looks a bit swollen and covered by a very thin, golden crust.[2]
