Hi there, trying to identify a pastry I picked up when in the station in Naples this week and want to try making myself.
Crisp outer shell of pastry and beautifully soft, doughy loose filling on the inside with what I'd describe as a moist but not overly wet texture. Lemon flavoured throughout with some cream and candied lemon on top. When I picked this up I was blown away by how heavy it felt, but it was a joy to eat and I want to know what it was! Recipe recommendations especially welcome!
Thanks!!

A me sembrava un bignè con crema pasticcera al limone
Not sure but could be Zeppole di San Giuseppe https://share.google/E9p097JKAI0XnMYHh
Is the exterior a shortcrust pastry? It could be a sfogliatella frolla https://blog.giallozafferano.it/lapappadiziaiaia/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/sfogliatelle-frolle-napoletane-4.jpg
Sfogliatella frolla al limone.
Sfogliatella is usually made with a ricotta and wheat filling, but is now easy to find with various alternative fillings.
Pasticciotto al limone? Usually a little taller
