Pandoro. In Italian means golden bread.
It’s the traditional Italian sweet cake of Veronese origins, most popular during the holidays. A traditional taller leavened cake, that when cut is the shape of star. Pandoro is baked  in a special star-shaped mold. 

When sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar, it has the appearance of fallen snow on a mountain. Pandoro may be served with many types of creams or sauces, such as mascarpone topping, melted chocolate,or flavored whipped cream
or rum or filled with ic cream or custard.
I tried the amazing Fraccaro Pandoro, incredibly soft and hairy, thanks to 72 hours to slow rising and natural, with yeast, make a sweet Pandoro Fraccaro unique and inimitable.The softness of the dough sourdough with fine fresh butter, golden color and the star shape, decorated with a dusting of powdered sugar, makes this cake the perfect dessert to celebrate the Holidays.

You can find this great cake at Fraccaro Store Circonvallazione Ovest, 25/27 -Castelfranco Veneto, Treviso
