The Perugina Traditional Colomba is an Easter cake that is basically a combination of the widely celebrated Italian Christmas desserts of Panettone and Pandoro. The dough for this delicious Easter specialty is made in a similar manner that panettone is made, but the traditional version only contains candied citrus peels and no raisins (unlike the panettone). The dough is then shaped into a dove (colomba, in Italian) and finally topped with coarse sugar and almonds. The dove is a symbol of peace and should not be left out from any Easter celebration.
