The Bilbolbul cake without eggs and butter that I found again in Ada Boni’s Il Talismano della Felicità reminded me of my adolescence when I was a young girl attending the Scientific High School “F. Severi” in Faenza because it was a cake my friend Cristina often made when after a movie, we would go to her house for some tea!!
It’s a very chocolaty cake that is soft and fluffy and perfect when accompanied by whipped cream or orange jam or other fruits.
I didn’t use cream of tartar and baking soda as in the original recipe but a packet of baking powder as always.
The name of the cake bilbolbul is taken from a comic character in the Italian magazine Corriere dei Piccoli created by Attilio Mussino in 1908.
Bilbolbul is an African child who experiences all sorts of adventures and his name is also given to the International Comic Festival held in Bologna since 2007.
