Miascia del Lago di Como (Italian Lake Como Bread Cake) Miascia is what the villages of Lake Como did with bread that had gone hard and fruit that had gone soft. It is a low baked cake, dense and fragrant, bound with milk and eggs, carrying raisins, dried figs, pine nuts and pieces of pear, scented with lemon, and finished with a sprig of rosemary laid across the surface before it goes into the oven. Nothing in it was bought for the purpose. Yield: 10 servings. Prep: 35 minut
