Why is it called a Tosca cake?

Supposedly after the opera, but that's all I know. Maybe it was invented at the time the opera was big or something? Like Peaches Melba being named after the singer...

Interesting! I've never heard of/seen/tasted this sort of cake before.

We hadn't either, but it's very good!
