- Drain the brocciu if needed (it should be fresh and very white).
- Mash it in a bowl with the sugar and zest using a fork.
- Separate the eggs.
- Mix the yolks into the brocciu and add the eau-de-vie.
- Whip the whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold them in with a spatula.
- Butter a round cake pan.
- Pour in the mixture.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C (350°F): golden on top and slightly wobbly in the center.
- Let cool completely; serve cold.
- An Easter tradition in Corsica.
