Ladyfinger Cake with Mascarpone Cream

Ladyfinger Cake with Mascarpone Cream, an easy and delicious dessert, is really quick to prepare, and it’s also very refreshing! Last week I ventured into many creamy desserts, among my favorites are the ricotta and Alchermes tart and the Portuguese cake, but today I wanted to prepare this recipe by simply mixing eggs, flour, and sugar to make the custard, finally adding the mascarpone. The ladyfinger cake is a clever no-bake dessert, perfect for summer. If you haven’t done it yet, follow me on my Facebook and Instagram pages, you’ll see some great things.
