Its preparation is very simple, and for a better yield, it is advisable to prepare the sponge cake at least a day before in order to let it rest long enough to make it softer and more spongy. The filling is usually based on diplomatic cream but it is also possible to combine it with fruit in syrup; our version, on the other hand, includes a filling based on Custard Lemon which gives the mimosa cake a note of freshness.
