Head to Corsica for your taste buds with this traditional Fiadone! Moist and typical of the Island of Beauty, this cake can even be made without the original cheese if you don't have it. In that case, use ricotta: you'll still capture the essence of Fiadone!

Ingredients
 90 sugar
 3 eggs
 10 spirit or distilled water
 1 Lemon
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 190-200°C. Bring water to a boil.

2

Preparation of the lemon: Remove the zest from a lemon, cut it into very small pieces, and plunge it into boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Squeeze the lemon to collect the juice.

3

Preparing the dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, then add the cheese, the drained lemon zest, the brandy, and the lemon juice.

4

Butter (and optionally flour) a tart pan and pour the mixture into it.

5

Cooking: Cook for about 35 minutes. If the dish lacks substance, extend the cooking time.
