The regional Christmas cake from Veneto, baked in an 8 pointed star shaped moulds, its name means "golden bread" and thanks to the high content of eggs the cake has really has a warm, yellow colour. It also contains plenty of butter, giving it a soft, fluffy texture. Comes with its own sachet of icing sugar to serve.
Pandoro is best served at room temperature, better if it is kept close to a radiator (in its bag!) so that it becomes extra soft. To sprinkle it evenly with sugar, pour the sachet of icing sugar in the bag and shake it. Alternatively, you can sprinkle sugar more traditionally with a sieve.
Can be cut horizontally in star shaped slices, spun by layer to create a christmas tree effect at a table. Or layer each with a filling - sweet mascarpone, hazelnut spread, the choice is yours...
Also delicious toasted and served with a mug of hot chocolate for a truly indulgent breakfast.
