A Buccellato [buttʃelˈlaːto] is a Sicilian circular cake. Buccellato contains figs and nuts.[1] It is traditionally associated with Christmas in Sicily.[1][2]
It is not to be confused with the distinct, but similar traditional Lucchese cake of the same name, the buccellato (di Lucca), although both are ring-shaped sweet breads that contain candied fruit peels.[3]
