This
cake dates back to the Renaissance and has popular origins. The most famous
"Berlingozzi" were the ones prepared in Barberino.
Take 1/2 kilo of flour, 250 gr. of sugar, 4 eggs, 200 gr. of melted
butter, a lemon skin, some tepid water or milk and a small bag of yeast.
Mix all the ingredients very slowly and at the end add the yeast, then
put the mixture in a mould like a ring-shaped cake and bake in oven (150/180
Celsius degrees).
