Thank you SO much for finding the ravioli recipe for me! You are AWESOME!
My 'Italian Mom' searched all over her mother's house for it, and never
found it. She would have been so happy. Unfortunately, she passed away a
year ago, but I can now pass this recipe onto her son. THANK YOU.
Since you're such a whiz with recipes. Any chance of finding the recipe
for a dessert called either Pan di Spagna, or Torta di spagna. This
one originates from Bari Italy, and I'd like to find the entire recipe,
frosting and filling and all. Thanks so much.
Patricia
ps- are you a woman or a man? just curious
Hi Patty,
Technically, "Pan di Spagna" is just the basic cake. It's used to make
other things, like tiramisu or cassata or any number of other cake desserts.
So, the "pan di spagna" recipes have no filling or icing. There's a recipe
for this basic cake below. See also these web sites:
Italian Food at About.com
Spagna
Phaed
ps:
I'm a man. Also, I'm not really much of a cook. The art for me is in the finding of answers.
Pan Di Spagna
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup potato starch (you may substitute it with flour)
a pinch of salt or of cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla flavor
1 teaspoon orange or lemon flavor (optional)
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350. Cover the bottom of a (9in) round baking pan
with wax paper, or grease and flour it.
In a big bowl, put the eggs (both whites and yolks), the sugar, the salt
or cream of tartar, and the flavors. Mix at high speed for at least 10-15
minutes (this is where a standing mixer comes in handy. You can leave it
for a long time) The mixture should multiply in volume and become very soft.
Do not be afraid to mix too much. Most recipes say one should mix for 6
minutes or so, but may be the authors have industrial strength mixers,
because if I mix only for 6 minutes there's a good chance that the cake
doesn't rise. The only effect of overmixing is that the cake is a little
drier, but only slightly so, and in any case one usually adds liquids
(such as coffee in tiramisł), so it does not matter.
After you are done, start sifting the flour and the potato starch on the
mixture, very slowly, mixing it carefully. It is essential that you sift
the flour directly on the mixture. Do so a little at a time. Mix just
enough to incorporate the flour in the mixture, but do not overmix at
this stage. You should not deflate the mixture too much.
Pour the mixture in the baking pan and put it immediately in the preheated
oven. Bake for approx 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Baking times may vary depending on the oven (and even the day, the humidity
etc.), so make sure the top of the cake is not getting too brown. When ready,
take it out of the oven, and carefully take it out of the pan, being careful
not to break it. Leave it cool before using.
If the heat in your oven comes from the bottom. you may notice that the top
of the cake remains wet and sticky. You can peel it off. This problem does
not seem to arise in other types of oven. You might also try turning on the
broiler for a couple of minutes to cook the top.
If you wrap it in plastic, you can freeze it and keep it in the freezer for
(more than) a month. Just bring it back to room temperature when needed.

Those are commercial products made by Dancing Deer Bakeries. They won awards

claim to be a copycat of the Dancing Deer product and may not be similar.
see below.

powder, salt, cloves, ginger and sugar. Beat eggs and add to flour along
with melted butter and molasses. Using electric mixer, blend until smooth.
With a large spoon stir in rolled oats. Drop by teaspoonfuls 1" apart onto
