What is "cacavellu"

Cacavellu ( Corsican; pl. cacavelli; also caccavellu; caccaveddu in Suttanacciu dialect; from Latin cacabus ("cooking pot") ) is a Corsican cake generally shaped as a crown, made of yeast dough. It is a typical dessert of the village of Vico.

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.
