The "Pucciàtidd" has very few ingredients for a truly delicious Easter cake such as eggs, oil, a little salt and flour. They should be boiled, cooled, then cooked in the oven and once cooled with icing which is called "scilépp" in Puglia.

The sweet "Cavicione" with ricotta is an ancient recipe of the Gargano tradition, a pastry filled with ricotta and chocolate chips, all enriched by cinnamon.

The final touch is given by the brown sugar which makes the surface of this cake golden and crunchy.
