Torta Sbrisolona image

Sbrisolona cake is typical of the area around Milan, in Lombardy, Italy. My grandmother taught me this simple but tasty cake recipe which generates a biscuity dessert with a pleasantly crumbly top! Baking pan size is up to you depending on how thick you'd like it to come out.
