Brazadela e Tronchetto di Natale Class
February 11, 2012
Each Holiday in Bologna has its cake: the “Tronchetto di Natale” for Christmas and Brazadela, or Ciambella, for Easter are offered to relatives and friends during the various parish feasts in town.
Tronchetto di Natale is a tasty and very elegant recipe from Haute Cuisine for a Christmas Dessert, made with cocoa, cream and “Pan di Spagna”. This Traditional cake is shaped like a log. The “pan di Spagna” is rolled in chocolate and decorated to resemble a Yule log.
Brazadela, one of the most traditional cakes of the Region is quite easy to make. It’s wonderful for breakfast, dipped into warm milk or caffe’ latte. It’s also nice at the end of the meal, either with a glass of dessert wine or dipped in zabaione or mascarpone cream.
One of the oldest and most traditional recipes, Brazadela is made of very simple ingredients you could find in most kitchens. This sweet bread would last, without preservatives, for quite a long time, and be enjoyed by both children and adults.
Our last class with Chef Pozzati, Tagliatelle alla Bolognese Class, was fantastic. Read more in our blog post. Or for more information on the class please go to our website.
