€10 - €30Fugassa veneziana in Venice
Fugassa veneziana is a traditional leavened cake from historic Venezia and the Veneto region, considered the ancestor of modern panettone. It has a low, round shape, a soft yet compact texture, and a delicate flavor scented with citrus and vanilla, often finished with sugar or almonds on top.
Unlike large industrial leavened cakes, fugassa originated as a simple, popular dessert, made with humble yet valuable ingredients for the time: flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and natural yeast.
