Italians are famous for their interest in food and that means we have a cake for every special occasion. If Christmas is Panettone and Pandoro time, Easter is Colomba time. The Colomba is the typical Italian Easter Cake and it’s one of those recipes you can only make if you’ve enough time to spend in your kitchen.
While Colomba is usually made with candied orange peel, we’ve Americanized it with dried fruit. Use your favorite combination; we’ve chosen golden raisins, cranberries, and diced apricots. Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess.
This traditional Italian dove bread for Easter is made in many homes and sold before Easter in Italy and around the world. In Italy, Colomba di Pasqua literally translates to “Easter Dove”.
You can also make a quick colomba (recipe here in Italian) but the result is completely different: if a colomba is soft and very high, the quick version is similar to a sponge with the flavor of a colomba because of the ingredients.
