The most traditional recipes actually call for lard, and use live yeast as the raising agent, but we substitute the lard with olive oil and yeast with self raising flour, making the preparation of this cake a lot easier.
Because of the lard, it was once called schiacciata unta.
Florentine pastry chefs often present it as a layer cake with whipped cream or crema pasticcera (pastry cream). Both ways are absolutely delicious!
