The moretto cake is a soft cake with a tasty filling, ideal for any occasion and to enjoy at any time of the day. My boyfriend, who has quite the sweet tooth, loves to have a piece for breakfast because it’s perfect for getting an energy boost and facing the day. And who could blame him? A slice of cocoa cake, filled with whipped cream and hazelnut spread, is just what you need for a champion’s breakfast!
