It was planned pro the paramount spell in the restaurant Le Beccherie everyplace they still makes the dessert with the classic recipe using ladyfingers soaked in bitter strong espresso coffee, mascarpone-zabaglione cream, and bitter cocoa powder. The dessert and its celebrity the minute became current, and this cake was clichйd by many restaurants paramount in Treviso, in that case all around Italy.
