Panettone cake, an Italian classic, is inseparable from the magic of the end-of-year holidays. This cake, emblematic of the Christmas period, is distinguished by its soft texture and refined flavors. It embodies the warmth and conviviality of family gatherings, bringing with it an air of festivity. Our Panettone cake recipe is inspired by this tradition, while revisiting it to make it an accessible and easy-to-prepare dessert at home.
This cake is characterized by the absence of butter, giving it an appreciable lightness, and is enriched with candied fruits and raisins, symbols of the opulence of the holidays. Gourmands can even opt for chocolate chips, bringing a modern touch to this age-old recipe. Each bite of this cake is an invitation to travel into Italian culinary traditions, where the sweetness of the fruits blends harmoniously with the airy texture of the dough.
Preparing this cake is a real pleasure. It begins with the creamy mixture of eggs and sugar, followed by the addition of oil and yogurt, which bring softness and moisture to the dough. The orange and lemon zest, as well as a touch of rum or liqueur, infuse the cake with intoxicating aromas that awaken the senses. These aromas, typical of Mediterranean desserts, offer a foretaste of the delights to come.
The addition of flour and baking powder gives the dough its structure, while the delicate integration of candied fruits and raisins (or chocolate chips) gives this cake its gourmet signature. The final touch, a sprinkling of flaked almonds, brings a crunchy texture contrasting with the softness of the cake. Baking then transforms this composition into a golden and puffy cake, a real pleasure for both the eyes and the palate.
