Question: What are some theories regarding how it was first created?
Some claim that it was first created in Northern Italy during the First World War.
Women made these desserts for their men to take with them as they were being sent off to war.
They might have believed the high caffeine and energy content of these desserts would give their men more energy to fight and help bring them home safely.
A less glamorous theory explains that the dessert was a way of salvaging old cake and coffee that had gone cold by using the leftover coffee and perhaps some liqueur to moisten the dry cake.
The dish was greatly improved by layering it with cream or cream cheese.
