About the dish

Pan di Spagna di Dipignano is a fragrant dessert that has been prepared in the Calabrian province of Cosenza since the 19th century. This soft cake is almost as high as panettone , although it is prepared without leavening agents - the fluffiness comes from the vigorous mixing of ingredients by hand for a long period of time. The mixture is baked in an elevated mold, exclusively in a wood-fired oven. Pan di Spagna di Dipignano used to be prepared for festive occasions, but nowadays it is a daily-made treat that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with rich chocolate cream.
