Recipe suitable for Easter
Put the butter in a bowl, soften it at room temperature and cut it into pieces; add the sugar, vanilla powder and the grated orange zest; work with a wooden spoon until you obtain a frothy mixture
Gradually incorporate the flour, cornstarch and baking powder sifted together, and the orange liqueur
Beat the egg whites until stiff with a spoonful of sugar, add half of them to the prepared mixture, stirring it to soften it, then gently incorporate the remaining beaten egg whites
Pour the mixture into a dove-shaped mold buttered and floured and bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for about one hour
Unmold the colomba, turn it upside down on a wire rack and let it cool
Heat the apricot jelly with a spoonful of water and brush it over the entire surface of the colomba
Coarsely chop the white chocolate, place it in a pan and melt it over a double boiler at moderate temperature; pour it into the center of the colomba, spread it with a spatula also on the edge and let it set a little
Decorate the colomba as desired with the remaining white chocolate and the dark chocolate, chopped and melted in a double boiler, drawing the wings, tail and eye; place the triangle of candied orange peel brushed with a little apricot jelly on the beak and let the chocolate set in a cool place
