Orange and Almond Crinkle Colomba, a very quick last-minute recipe designed specifically to have this shape on the Easter table. Since there was no more time to knead the classic dough (and I had a 500 gram mold) I thought of preparing a dough similar to crinkle cookies, so I used almond flour and 00 flour, orange juice and zest, butter, eggs and flavorings, sprinkled with sugar and almonds. Ten minutes of preparation and 40 minutes of baking for an excellent result, to be repeated. Follow the instructions and make it with me.
