mimosa cake is prepared at the International Women's Day, or the 'March 8. This festival has its origins in 1908 when, during a protest strike by a group of women with working conditions, ended in tragedy due to fire. It is not a recurrence of a religious nature and is fairly recent, especially because in Italy is celebrated only after the war, so there is no dedicated culinary tradition, although it became customary for groups of friends get together for dinner in restaurants. The mimosa is not an edible flower, indeed it is poisonous, and therefore can not be an ingredient of the cake mimosa, which instead takes its name from the sponge with which it is made, and that crumbled on the surface recalls the delicate flowers of the mimosa . The version that we propose is a fresh review, enriched and flavored with bits of pineapple.

mimosa To make the cake, prepare a sponge cake cooked in a mold with a diameter of 24 cm, also prepared the custard by putting a lemon in milk , then remove it to prepare over, then let it cool down the two preparations. Cut across the top of the sponge cake with a long-bladed knife, to remove the golden dome. With the help of a knife cut the smallest circumference of the sponge, leaving a thick border at least 2-3 cm.
With hands removed the central part of the sponge and empty the crumbs of his cake, as if you'd like to be an empty box, good shape for the groove Make use of a spoon ( or fingers), remembering to leave the bottom of a thickness of about 2 cm.
Cut the bread into strips and then extracted into small cubes, you may now decide whether to leave In this way, or, if gently, rub the palms of the hands to give it a round shape, like the appearance of the mimosa, set aside.
they drain the pineapple and mix half of the syrup in a can of pineapple with a glass of Grand Marnier, use it to wet the bottom and sides of cake so that they are soaked but that will not yield.
Cut into small cubes pineapple drained. Whip the cream, a spoon and slowly add the powdered sugar; embed them gently to the cooled custard now, keeping aside a sufficient portion of cream to cover the cake, and add to the mixture of cream and pineapple cut into small cubes.
Fill the cavity of the sponge cake with this filling trying to give a rounded shape to the cake, close the pie with the cover removed you had at the beginning of the preparation (making gold but with the part inside, which should touch the filling), moisten with a little 'syrup and cover, with the aid of a spatula or a blade boxcutter from smooth, the entire cake with cream that you had put aside.
once covered the entire cake with the cream, cover the entire surface by joining the small cubes of sponge cake. Put the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours before serving and a few minutes before serving decorate as desired with fruit, fresh flowers or sprigs of mimosa.
Council
The filling of mimosa cake is originally consisting only of custard and whipped cream mixed: in this case was enriched dall'ananas, whose taste goes well with the rich cream that envelops him, and lends itself to invoke the yellow mimosa, but if you want, you can use other fruits to fill your cake. In fact, you can use half and half pineapple peaches in syrup , or opt for strawberries, berries or !
When serving the cake mimosa, you can decorate it with berries of red currant or the edible violets, previously brush of egg white and sprinkled granulated sugar.
Reminder for men, why not try to make this sweet to offer your beloved?
The preparation is prepared, but not difficult, and perhaps the cost is less than a bunch of mimosa.
But you want to put the effect that you could get?
