Italian sweets and desserts: Easter cake

I found this Italian recipe in an old book, so a few days ago I prepared it for my friends and it was a great success.
Why not give it a try? Here’s what you need:250 g flour; 100 sugar; 70 g butter; 30 granulated sugar; 20 g skinned almonds; 15 g yeast; 2 eggs; lemon zest; 1 glass milk and salt.

Preparation: dissolve the yeast in warm milk, then in a bowl put flour, sugar, eggs, butter and a pinch of salt ( don’t forget to pour in the milk with the yeast) and work into a ball.
Done this, leave to rest for 12 hours.

Next break the dough into two or three pieces, add lemon zest and work into a ball again.
Place in a well-greased baking dish and leave to rest for three hours.
Bake at 220 c for 40 minutes.
Serve cold.
