ZUPPA INGLESE

This would translate from Italian as 'English Soup.'   It is more or less an Italian version of the English trifle.  Originating in Naples in the 19th century,  it consists of sponge cake soaked with brandy or kirsch, layered  with custard (pastry cream) and candied fruit, covered with cream or Italian meringue, and baked in the oven.
