Author Notes
While this cake is fabulous just as the folks at Maialino’s developed it, it was even better when we substituted lemons for the oranges and Limoncello for the Grand Marnier. We also cut back a lot on the sugar since we like things on the tart side. We were right. The crust was cracked all over revealing the super moist center. —paul galvani
