You've probably tried or heard of various types of sweet pizza, but this recipe outshines them all. This dessert looks like a real rectangular Sicilian pizza and tastes like a delicious cake! The base of this fake pizza is a white sponge cake baked from a store-bought dry mix. It's topped with a strawberry sauce that's a dead ringer for tomato sauce. The mozzarella slices are melted white chocolate, piled high on top of the sauce and toasted with a blowtorch, and the berry pastille circles look just like slices of pepperoni. Grate the white chocolate over the cake, like you'd sprinkle Parmesan cheese on your pizza.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Spray the bottom and inside walls of a 10x17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Mix the sponge dough according to package directions; spoon it into the baking sheet, filling it about three-quarters full (you'll have some dough left over).

Bake the cake at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, then scrape the surface of the cake with a fork, leaving a ridge around the edges.

Using a cookie cutter or kitchen scissors, cut the pastila into 4 cm diameter circles. If the strips are too narrow, roll them out lightly with a rolling pin before cutting.
