Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

Torta Margherita is a traditional cake that's similar to pan di spagna (a type of sponge cake). This light and delicate cake is made with eggs, sugar, butter, lemon zest, flour, potato starch, and vanilla. However, there's also an old recipe by Pellegrino Artusi, and it only calls for eggs, sugar, and potato starch. Once baked, this soft and fluffy cake is dusted with icing sugar. The slices of torta Margherita resemble the petals of a daisy, hence the name of the cake ( margherita means daisy in Italian). It's recommended to dip the cake into caffe latte and eat it as an afternoon snack.
