About Panetella

Panetela is a traditional Cuban sponge cake known for its light and airy texture. Made from a simple blend of eggs, sugar, flour, and sometimes a touch of vanilla, its recipe typically omits butter or oil, resulting in a lower fat content compared to richer cakes. This dessert is a staple in Cuban cuisine and is commonly enjoyed with coffee or as part of celebrations. While its lack of heavy fats makes it a lighter dessert option, Panetela is still high in sugars and refined carbohydrates, which should be consumed in moderation. However, its simplicity and small serving sizes make it a delightful treat that can fit into a balanced diet. Some variations incorporate fillings or toppings like guava or cream, adding flavor but also increasing the overall calorie count. Perfectly soft and subtly sweet, Panetela remains a beloved dessert with a light touch of indulgence.
