Torta di uva Termarina, also known as Termarina grape cake, is a traditional dessert from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It is a sweet and moist cake made with local Termarina grapes, which are known for their intense flavor and sweetness. This dessert can be found in various towns and communes of Emilia-Romagna, including Modena, Bologna, and Ravenna. It is often sold in local pastry shops, bakeries, and specialty food stores in these areas.
One popular recipe for Torta di uva Termarina involves mixing the grapes with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter to create a thick batter, which is then poured into a cake pan and baked until golden brown. Another variation of the recipe includes adding a splash of local wine to the batter for an extra layer of flavor. Once baked, the cake is often dusted with powdered sugar and served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
Torta di uva Termarina has been recognized with the PAT (Traditional Agri-Food Product) designation, which signifies its traditional production methods and use of local ingredients. The cake must contain at least 30% Termarina grapes and be produced within the designated area of Emilia-Romagna to meet the PAT specifications.
