Yesterday afternoon on my way back home, it was raining cats and dogs, so I got inspired to make a very delicious and cuddy cake. Here is the recipe taken by "La Cucina Italiana"; it's long but very simple and believe me worthwhile!

2. Lemon cream: whisk all the ingredients in a bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water till you earn a very froathy cream (I used a whisk). Lay aside.
