Cozonac is a traditional Romanian cake, but also a Bulgarian
dessert (kozunak), or an Italian pastry product called
"panettone".
It is usually prepared for Easter in Bulgaria, and mostly for every
major holiday (Christmas, Easter, New Year's Day) in Romania
and Moldova.
Cozonac is a sweet bread, into which milk, yeast, eggs, sugar,
butter, and other ingredients are mixed together and allowed to
rise before baking.
It is possible that the first cozonac has been made in Ancient
Egypt. Perhaps it was sweetened with honey and filled with
seeds. The Greeks took from the Egyptians their interest in
cuisine.Certainly the Greeks have eaten cozonac. They made it
with honey, raisins and walnuts.
