Spongarda is a local cake originating in the comune (municipality) of Crema. The Lombardy region includes it as spongarda of Crema in the list of traditional food products.

==Origin of the name== In Crema the name has been documented since 1755, but its origins date back to a type of pastry quoted by a historian from Crema, Pietro Terni, for a feast in 1526, a soft and spongy cake, from the Latin spongia.
