This recipe is a simpler version of the Viennese Easter Bread, Kugelhopf. It's a bit like a rich pound cake with plump raisins, toasted almonds, and a hint of citrus. Moist and not too sweet it's perfect with morning coffee or afternoon tea, and makes great gifts for the host or hostess of your Easter meal. Try it using the Fiori di Sicilia in place of the orange extract. I can almost guarantee that you will never again be without of small bottle of this delightful essence.
