\nApologies \u00a0for not gettting this out sooner but think that you still have time to make this for your Easter dinner. I have been scouring my recipes and looking for just the right one\u00a0for our community of\u00a0\u00a0‘foodies’..not too difficult-some of the Italian Spring Holiday breads can be\u00a0so time consuming and something well a little unique..\u00a0So for a little bit of inspiration and no Easter\u00a0egg shaped something…\u00a0I decided to go with one of my favorite cakes.\u00a0… a recipe I learned in Austria, the cake is named after a famous Austrian-Italian Prince-Prince Eugenio\u00a0of the Royal Family of Savoia.
\nAlthough he doesn’t have anything to do with Easter..the cake is really a special one..it is made with lots of chocolate <\/a>..which always reminds me of Easter..and not too ordinary-as a Holiday dessert should be- and great to have with a glass of bubbly Brachetto d’Acqui or with some dessert coffee <\/a>or ..\u00a0alone.. And to make it even more interesting here is some info on Prince Eugenio<\/a>
\nBuon Appetito and Buona Pasqua! Please write and let us know how your \u00a0torta turns out!
\nPrince Eugenio’s Cake<\/strong>
\n( This cake\u00a0was created \u00a0in Austria and named after Prince Eugenio who was born in France to royalty related to the Royal Savoia Family . His mother was Italian. He became a high ranking soldier in the Austrian army and protected Italy from some of their military rivals in the early \u00a01700’s. He was an aficionado of art and this ‘torta’ or cake was created many years ago in homage to this Prince)<\/strong>

\nRemove from oven. Leaving a 1 \/12 \u201c border around cake, cut out the interior cake , to make about \u00bc cup of crumbs. Place crumbs in oven on cookie sheet for to dry and become crisp, set aside., to use as crumble on topping.
