A buccellato () is a Sicilian circular cake filled with figs and nuts. In Sicily, it is traditionally associated with Christmas.Gillian Riley, The Oxford Companion to Italian Food (Oxford University Press, 2004, p. 194.Carol Field, Celebrating Italy (W. Morrow and Company, 1990), p. 284. 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.Anna Del Conte, "Buccellato" in Gastronomy of Italy (rev. ed.: Pavilion Books, 2013).
