Description

This single portion mimosa cake is a delicious and spectacular dessert, perfect for celebrating spring or for a special occasion. The custard, prepared with the Thermomix®, is smooth and velvety, while the sponge cake, soft and light, is crumbled and alternated with the cream in individual glasses. A touch of limoncello adds a fresh and citrusy aroma, but can be replaced with milk for a non-alcoholic version. Easy to prepare and customize, this cake is a guaranteed success! I often prepare it for Easter, it is a delicious alternative to the classic colomba.

About this recipe

The mimosa single portion cake in display is a tribute to spring, a small pastry jewel that embodies the joy of colors and the delicacy of flavors. The mimosa, with its soft yellow flowers, has always been a symbol of femininity and rebirth, and this cake captures its essence in an elegant and delicious dessert. I remember that as a child, Women's Day was a special occasion, and my grandmother always prepared a huge mimosa cake, to share with the whole family. This single portion version is a way to honor that tradition, making it more modern and suitable for today's needs. The heart of this cake is the custard, prepared with the Thermomix® for an impeccable consistency. The egg yolks give richness and creaminess, while the corn starch makes it velvety and stable. Sugar, of course, sweetens everything, and a pinch of salt enhances the flavors. Finally, vanilla adds a touch of fragrance and elegance. The sponge cake, light and soft, is the other fundamental element. The eggs, whipped for a long time with the sugar, create an airy and spongy base, perfect for absorbing the cream and limoncello. The 00 flour and corn starch help to make it even more delicate. To prepare the custard with the Thermomix®, it is important to carefully follow the indicated times and temperatures. Make sure the milk is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Once cooked, the cream must be cooled quickly to avoid the formation of a film on the surface. For the sponge cake, it is essential to whip the eggs for a long time, until a frothy and light mixture is obtained. In this way, the cake will be soft and light. When adding the flour and corn starch, do it gently, with upward movements, so as not to deflate the mixture. For a vegetarian version, make sure that the vanilla used is without animal derivatives. For a vegan version, you can replace the eggs with aquafaba (the cooking water of chickpeas) and the milk with vegetable milk (soy, almond, oat). For a touch of different flavor, you can add grated lemon zest to the custard, or a pinch of cinnamon. Instead of limoncello, you can use another liqueur (for example, Grand Marnier or Cointreau), or simply milk or fruit juice. Serve the mimosa single portion cake in transparent glasses, to enhance the colors and textures. You can decorate the surface with some fresh mimosa flowers, or with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Accompany the dessert with a small glass of frozen limoncello, or with an espresso coffee. The mimosa single portion cake can be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2-3 days. You can prepare the sponge cake and custard in advance, and assemble the cake shortly before serving. In this way, it will always be fresh and fragrant.
