An Italian Easter cake recipe: The Colomba

April 10, 2017

Colomba Pasquale (Easter Dove) is a soft, sweet, traditional Italian Easter cake similar to panettone – only better, some say. It was a Milanese baker Angelo Motta, who popularised panettone at the beginning of the 20th century and created the Colomba Pasquale. Instead of the dome or cupola-shape of the traditional Christmas panettone he turned it into a dove of peace for Easter. This is the authentic Colomba cake recipe from Flavours Italian chefs. Buona Pasqua!
