This cake, traditionally served at Easter in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (particularly Trieste) is thought to be originally from the small town of Castagnevizza. A dough similar to puff pastry and enriched with eggs is then stuffed with a mixture containing coarsely chopped raisins, almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, candied fruit, and cloves. The presnitz is then shaped into a wreath very much like gubana.
