Mimosa Cake Recipe

This beautifully presented Italian cake is perfect for spring season Its resemblance to the mimosa flower compliments its name. In Italy mimosa flower is a symbol of Festa Della Donna (Women's Day).

There are other variants of mimosa cake, apart from the one I am posting today.  The cake itself is decorated with cubes of cake which give it a mimosa like appearance. First sponge cake is made. Filling is composed of egg custard and cream. You can make one sponge cake and cut it in 3 parts. One part will be used to cut cubes and the other two layers will be sandwiched together filled with custard cream.
