Florentine Schiacciata
Conoscevo la Schiacciata fiorentina, ma non l'avevo mai fatta e siccome volevo fare un dolce di carnevale nella teglia rettangolare Guardini , invece delle solite chiacchiere che avevo già fatto, ho deciso di provare questa insolita torta with brewer's yeast. I immediately liked the recipe I found in the blog "The world of Luvi" and you can find here .
faithfully reproduce the information on the cake I found in the blog "The world of Luvi" : "The classic shape is rectangular, it should not exceed 3 cm in height and must remain soft when cooked. Is characteristic of the design lily symbol of Florence, which is done in the middle with cocoa powder, while all around you is spread the icing sugar.
