Cacavellu
Corsican cake
Cacavellu (Corsican; pl. cacavelli; also caccavellu; caccaveddu in Suttanacciu dialect; from Latin: cacabus, lit. 'cooking pot'[1]) is a Corsican cake generally shaped as a crown, made of yeast dough.[2] It is a typical dessert of the village of Vico.[2]
In the cuisine of Corsica exists also a yeast cake called too caccaveddu, typical of the region around Sartène in southern Corsica: it is akin to the Campanile cake and like that is also traditionally prepared for Easter. [2]
