Colomba di Pasqua or Easter Dove Cake is the springtime counterpart to Christmas panettone. Like panettone, this Italian Easter specialty is a yeasted sweet bread featuring a pillowy, brioche-like texture and rich aromas of vanilla and butter. This classic style of colomba is studded with candied orange peels, topped with a sweet crust of almonds and pearl sugar and molded into the shape of a dove to symbolize peace.
Enjoy Giraudi Colomba Cake similar to how you would panettone. Cut into wedges, warm in the oven and serve with fresh fruit. Alternatively, try with a drizzle of luscious hazelnut or pistachio spread from Il Colle del Gusto.
