Colomba di Pasqua is a traditional Italian Easter cake shaped like a dove. 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 festive treat is usually enjoyed during the Easter season, symbolizing peace and renewal. Colomba di Pasqua is often gifted or shared among family and friends, similar to the way Panettone is celebrated during Christmas in Italy.
