Ciaramicola (Umbrian Easter Bundt Cake with Meringue)

Ciaramicola is a traditional Umbrian Easter bundt cake from Perugia, known for its striking red color and soft texture, finished with a delicate layer of meringue and colorful sprinkles.This festive Italian dessert is deeply connected to the history and symbolism of the city. The bright red dough comes from Alchermes liqueur, which gives the cake both its characteristic color and its distinctive aroma. The contrast between the red cake and the white meringue reflects the colors of Perugia’s coat of arms, making Ciaramicola a true symbol of local tradition.
