Tips
If the cake is not intended for children, we suggest adding a teaspoon of rum. If, on the other hand, it is specifically intended for a children's party or a buffet, we suggest that you make many mini-salamis rather than one big one.
Trivia
The ‘chocolate salami’ is also known by some as ‘Turkish salami’ because of its dark colour, reminiscent of the Arabic skin tone. It is by the name ‘Turkish salami’ that this dessert is listed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry amongst the traditional Italian food products. In Sicily in particular, where it is a specialty, it is known in this way, whereas elsewhere it is even called ‘Viking salami’! In Emilia Romagna it is a specialty of the Easter period, and it has spread to just about every corner in Italy.
