The soft tart base or Californian cake is a very versatile and easy-to-prepare cake base. Its main feature is the use of a tart pan with grooves on the bottom as you can see in the photo; after turning it upside down, you will have a part to fill, which can also be hollowed out a bit more, being very careful not to break it. The recipe also includes ingredients for the lactose-free version.
