Colomba is a traditional Italian Easter cake, shaped like a dove, symbolizing peace and resurrection. Made from a sweet, yeasted dough, it is often enriched with butter, eggs, and sugar, giving it a rich flavor and soft texture. The cake is typically studded with candied orange peel and topped with a crunchy almond glaze. This delightful dessert is usually enjoyed during the Easter season, similar to the Panettone enjoyed at Christmas. Colomba is often packaged beautifully, making it a popular gift during the holiday. Its unique shape and festive taste have made it a beloved treat in Italy and beyond.
