How to prepare the Arezzo cat

Whip the reds with the sugar, then add the whites whipped until stiff.

Add, always turning, the melted butter, the flour, the yeast and a pinch of salt.

In a rectangular baking tray, put a sheet of greased and floured greaseproof paper and pour the dough over it.

Bake in a hot oven for about a quarter of an hour.

Remove the pasta with the paper and wet it with alchermes diluted with a little water.

Sprinkle the surface with custard in which you will have melted about 100 grams of dark chocolate.

With the help of paper, roll up the cake in a log, then sprinkle it with icing sugar.
