Today I made Easter muffins; I was tired of the usual colomba, but at the same time I wanted a cake that reminded me of it. These Easter muffins really have the flavor of colomba but are much more decadent. I made them with the Bimby, but you can use a stand mixer or even make them by hand. The secret ingredient is the yogurt, which makes them soft and super delicious.
