Zeppoli or St.Joseph's Day Cake

Today, the 19th of March, is the feast of St. Joseph. On this day, Zeppoli or St. Joseph’s Day Cake are traditionally eaten by Maltese and Sicilian people alike. These sweets are very similiar to donuts but are filled with ricotta cheese. They are also known as Italian donuts. These donuts are deep-fried and topped with powdered sugar. In Malta, these little pastries are also given as gifts on this feast day.
