Walnuts, almonds, chocolate and yogurt and citrus juice, which offer the fluffy texture and velvety fresh taste. The lemon glaze gives the sour tones that balance perfectly with the sweet aftertaste of the cake. It is made from the previous day, so as to unite the flavors and aromas of the ingredients.
