Imbrucciata information

Imbrucciata (pl.: imbrucciate) is a typical Corsican dessert, similar to a small fiadone but, unlike this, it has a bottom layer of shortcrust or brisée pastry dough.^[1][2] The ingredients of the filling are brocciu, sugar, eggs and lemon zest.^[1]

The cake has a round shape with small bits of pasta around the edge: these result from pinching the dough during the preparation.^[2] Its diameter ranges from 8 to 10 cm, and is 2 to 3 cm. thick. After being baked in oven with moderate heat, the cake looks a bit swollen and covered by a very thin, golden crust.^[2]
