Where does the name of this recipe come from? My wonderful son Frank, the chef! The dish was created when he wanted to make a twist on the traditional slice of cake his grandmother serves. Frank just earned his diploma as a “professional chef of Italian cuisine” from one of the great masters, Gualtiero Marchesi. I couldn’t be more proud of him and hope you enjoy the delicious dessert.

Take a bowl, beat eggs with sugar and after few minutes add the ricotta.
Chop the chocolate and add to the mixture together with the rum. Pour the mixture in a baking pan and cook for 40 minutes.(350 Fahrenheit)
When the cake is ready, let it cool. With a cookies cutter, cut the cake into small circles.
Spread each circle with whipped cream (prepared in advance) then close with a smaller one on top.
