Torta with Fregola (or Fregolotta Cake)
Ingredients – For 8/10 Slices
- 500g of 00 Flour
- 160g of Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- 240ml of Fresh Single Cream
- 1 knob of Butter for the pan
- Almonds to decorate
Method
To prepare this cake, start sifting the flour with the salt in a large bowl, add the sugar and mix well.
In a separate bowl, pour the cream and then place, next to the two containers, a springform cake mould with a diameter of 24/26 cm, previously buttered.
Wet your fingers in the cream and place them on the mixture of flour and sugar in order to collect some.
Rub your hands together so as to obtain crumbs of dough that you will drop directly into the pan.
Repeat the same step several times until all the dough is finished.
Arrange the crumbs, which will be of irregular shape and size, evenly in the pan, levelling them delicately, without crushing them.
Bake in a preheated oven at 160 ° for about 1 hour, or until the surface of the cake has taken on a beautiful golden colour. Let it cool completely.
