Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) in conventional mode.
- Line a 9-inch (24 centimeters) round springform cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly brush the parchment paper with ½ tablespoon of Vignoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Sicilia. Wipe off any excess of oil with kitchen paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 00 Italian type flour or U.S. pastry flour, bread flour, and baking powder with a hand whisk. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, add egg yolks, ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon Vignoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Sicilia, water, the grated zest of both lemons, table salt, and ¾ cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Combine the ingredients with an electric whisk until slightly foamy.
- Add the flours and baking powder mixture and perfectly combine with the electric whisk again (about 2 minutes).
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and pure vanilla extract or pure vanilla paste until stiff peaks form.
- Using a rubber spatula, gradually add the egg whites to the other preparation with delicate but quick movements from bottom to top.
- Transfer into the cake pan, gently level with a spatula, then bake for 50 minutes or until the cake surface is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Place the cake pan on a cake cooling rack and let it cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cream cheese, two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and confectioners’ sugar using a hand whisk. Add enough milk to obtain a spreadable consistency. Set aside.
- When cool, remove the springform cake pan and cut the cake in 4 portions using a round cookie cutter.
- Cut each portion horizontally in 3 layers and finely dice the cut-offs.
