Never heard of limoncello? It could be your next baking ingredient obsession. Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur that is primarily produced in southern Italy (in the northern parts of the country it is often called limoncino). It is one of the most popular liqueurs in Italy and has become popular all over the world in recent years. While limoncello is often served in cocktails you can also make this limoncello cake as a dessert.
Limoncello is usually made by steeping lemon peels in a neutral high-proof alcohol such as vodka and then straining and mixing the flavored alcohol with a simple syrup. The result is a sweet lemon-flavored liqueur with an alcohol content similar to other liqueurs.
