That sounds like a very different type of cake with orange pasta in it. Is the pasta cooked or dry when you put it in the cake?

Orange pasta is dry when put in colomba.

Thanks

Gaetano

of this recipe and it didn't call for pasta. It calls for "orange cubes" and "candied orange pulp".  Is your orange pasta like spaghetti noodles or some other noodles or is it orange zest? If it is noodles, what shape is the pasta? 

I am very curious about your recipe. It sounds delicious!

Orange pulp=candied orange smoothies with mixer

Colomba aroma is based on orange and is very similar to panettone...it's the same dough and the same procedure.

Aroma in colomba e panettone is variable, each recipe has its own specific.

The flavor is fabulous :-) Try it, you will not regret :-)

Che bella colomba, Gaetano. Bravo!

Sono deluso che non avevo intenzione di fare un colomba per la Pasqua, ma potrei fare una questa settimana comunque. Ho fatto "Hot Cross Buns" invece per la mia moglie inglese-italiana. Mi interessa provare a farlo con fermentazione naturale. Avrei usato il lievito se non avessi visto la tua formula!

Grazie per aver condiviso la tua ricetta. Tanti auguri di Buona Pasqua.
