10/12 slices

Description
The Candied Loaf is a cake made with a sheet of brioche bread topped with a thin layer of apricot jam and candied cherries; it is all rolled up and garnished with almond paste and dusted with icing sugar just before cooking.
In fact, the sugar cooks and caramelises, forming a crunchy crust which together with the chopped almonds gives a consistency which contrasts pleasantly with the soft dough and cherries.
Recommended pairings:
- Aleatico, coffee or smooth grappas -
History
The recipe for this "rich" dessert was created by Ernesto Pandolfini around the 1930s; the candied cherries assorted inside the dough were green, white and red, in honor of the Italian flag.
