What is the Neapolitan Biscuit Cake?
The Neapolitan Biscuit Cake is a traditional dessert made of layers of biscuits soaked in coffee or milk, alternated with a cream, often butter or ricotta based, or the classic custard. It is a simple and delicious dessert, typical of grandma’s recipes.
What biscuits are used to make the cake?
Usually, dry biscuits like ladyfingers or Oro Saiwa type biscuits are used, as they absorb the liquid well and become soft, creating a creamy texture when assembled.

Can it be prepared in advance?
Yes, in fact, it is preferable to prepare it a few hours in advance or even the day before. This allows the biscuits to soften and flavors to blend perfectly.

Certainly! You can enrich the cake by adding layers of chocolate, fresh or dried fruit, or flavoring the cream with cocoa, coffee, or liqueurs, for a personal and creative touch.
