Colomba is a traditional Italian Easter cake.
This traditional Easter dessert is made from naturally leavened dough, similar to panettone, enriched with butter, honey, vanilla, and candied oranges for a delicate yet rich flavor.
Shaped into a dove, the dough is topped with a crisp almond glaze and sugar crystals, creating a satisfying contrast between the soft, airy crumb and the crunchy topping.
Colomba is a cherished part of Italian Easter traditions, often enjoyed with coffee or as an afternoon indulgence.
