This summer I went to Bologna and bought a book of typical recipes from Emilia Romagna, which is very good: La Grande Cucina Regionale Italiana: Emilia Romagna by Daniela Guaiti. I hadn&#8217;t prepared any of the recipes from the dessert section yet, and I finally chose this Modenese Torta Bonissima. I had never tried it either, even though I passed through Modena a couple of years ago, but it looked so good and the recipe was so simple that I thought, why not? &nbsp; Torta Bonissima with walnuts, honey, and rum Author: La ragazza col mattarello Prep time: 45 mins Cook time: 30 mins Total time: 1 hour 15 mins Serves: 8 Ingredients 500 g pastry flour 300 g butter 200 g sugar 4 egg yolks 1 and a half lemons. 250 g shelled walnuts 250 g honey A small glass of rum 250 g dark chocolate for melting Salt Instructions Knead the flour and the butter cut into small cubes. When it has a consistency similar to sand, add the sugar, egg yolks, the zest of one lemon, and a pinch of salt. When the dough is homogeneous, form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and leave it in the fridge for half an hour. Meanwhile, chop the walnuts a little. Only a little, they should remain in small pieces, not like flour. Mix the walnuts with the honey, the small glass of rum, and the zest of half a lemon. Divide the dough into two parts. One with 2\/5 of the dough, the other with 3\/5, since the one that will cover the base of the mold, inside which the filling will go, must be larger. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Flatten the two parts of the dough, forming a couple of discs. Grease the cake mold or tin with a little butter. Line the inside of the mold with the large disc of dough. Fill with the walnut paste. Cover with the small disc and trim, if necessary, the excess dough and seal the cake well. Bake the cake for 30 min at 180 degrees. When it is ready, if you wish, you can cover it with dark chocolate, which can be melted in a bowl in the microwave or in a double boiler. 3.2.1255<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[816,389],"tags":[3235,3240,3243,3250],"class_list":["post-17018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-desserts","category-recipes","tag-dark-chocolate","tag-honey","tag-nougat","tag-rum-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bonissima Cake with walnuts, honey, and rum ~ La ragazza col mattarello<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Last Sunday I made this typical Modena cake, filled with walnuts, honey, and rum for a family celebration, and it was a total success.
