Tenerina Cake

Made from dark chocolate mixed with eggs, butter and very little flour (or cocoa). It was created between the 19th and 20th centuries in honour of Elena of Montenegro, the second queen of Italy, with the name of Torta regina del Montenegro o MontenegrinaIt seems that there was true love between the King and Queen and that she had a sweet and tender heart, hence the consistency of the cake that popularly became known as Taclenta (sticky) and only later did it soften into TenerinaIt is a dessert that can be enjoyed in practically all restaurants in the Ferrara area, perhaps served with a little mascarpone cheese on the side.
