And this Easter has arrived too; this year will be a little different because of the situation we are living through.
But that doesn’t mean we should miss an opportunity to be grateful for everything we have. I, first of all, thank my family, and also you who support me every day here on the Blog and on social media. Thank you all and Happy Easter.
Today I share with you the recipe for the mock Colomba, made without rising using instant leavening. Truly delicious. HERE I leave you a few Easter-themed recipes.

Ingredients
- 3 Eggs

- 6 2/3 tbsp Vegetable oil

- Lemon zest

Tools
- Mold paper mold for Colomba
Preparation
To prepare the mock Easter Colomba I used my Thermomix (Bimby); if you don’t have one, a stand mixer or even an electric hand mixer will work fine.
I preheated the oven to 356°F.
In the Thermomix bowl I added the sugar and the lemon and orange zest.
I pulverized for 20 seconds at turbo speed.
I added the eggs and mixed for 2 minutes at speed 4.
Then I added the oil, milk, flour and instant baking powder and mixed again for 2 minutes at speed 4.
I poured the batter into a paper mold for Colomba, decorated with pearl sugar, chocolate chips and almonds, and baked in a conventional oven for about 45 minutes.
