Recipes Global Cuisines European Italian Torta Sbrisolona 3.0 (1) 1 Review 2 Photos Sbrisolona cake is typical of the area around Milan, in Lombardy, Italy. My grandmother taught me this simple but tasty cake recipe which generates a biscuity dessert with a pleasantly crumbly top! Baking pan size is up to you depending on how thick you'd like it to come out.
