Panettone Cake Recipes

PANETTONE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an angel food cake pan.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in remaining 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, brandy, rum, anise extract, and lemon zest.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat gradually into the creamed butter mixture. Fold in raisins, candied fruit, candied cherries, and almonds. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

PANETTONE I

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine yeast, water and sugar. Cover and let stand 10 minutes, or until foamy. Add eggs, yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well. Stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms into a manageable ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until dough is soft and pliable, but not sticky. (May need up to 5 cups flour.) Place dough in a large, lightly pan-sprayed bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray a round 8-inch cake pan with non-stick spray. In a small bowl, toss dried fruit with confectioners' sugar. Punch down dough in bowl, transfer to floured surface, and knead in the fruit.
• Form dough into a ball, place in prepared cake pan, cover loosely with dish towel, and let rise 30 minutes. (Loaf will rise above the pan sides.) Brush with melted butter, if desired. Bake for 45 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 10 wedges.

PANETTONE

Steps:

• Grease a panettone tin (see Tip) or a 20cm deep cake tin, or use a panettone case.
• Place the warm milk in a bowl and add the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar and leave for a few minutes.
• Put the remaining sugar in a large bowl and beat together with the butter and vanilla extract until really light, creamy and pale.
• Stir in the lemon and orange zest. Add the eggs a little at a time until all are well incorporated. Spoon in a tablespoon of the flour if the mixture starts to curdle and beat this in with the eggs.
• Place the flour in a large bowl and mix with a good pinch of salt and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture then the butter and egg mixture, folding in with a large spoon to make a soft dough. Knead for 5 mins in the bowl until it all starts to come together. It will be a pretty sticky dough at this stage.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a further 10 mins, until everything has come together and you have a very soft and stretchy dough. Add a light sprinkling of flour to the surface and your hands as you go to stop the mixture sticking, but try not to add too much. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover. Place in the fridge overnight to prove.
• Place the raisins and sultanas in a small saucepan with the rum and heat gently for 5 - 7 mins until the fruit has absorbed the liquid and is plump and juicy. Set aside to cool.
• When the dough is risen, tip it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for another 5 mins. Gradually knead in the soaked raisins, sultanas and chopped candied peel. Shape the dough into a ball and pop into the prepared tin. If using a 20cm cake tin, wrap a layer of baking parchment around the outside of the tin, to come up about 5cm above the rim, and secure the paper with string. This will help contain the dough as it rises. Cover lightly with cling film and leave to rise for 3-4 hours depending on your room temperature, until it has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Adjust the oven shelf to the right height. Mix together the almonds, caster sugar and egg white for the topping and gently brush over the top of the panettone. Place in the oven and bake for 40 - 50 mins until golden and risen and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack. Leave to cool completely before dusting lightly with icing sugar and cutting into wedges to serve.
