Step by Step Method

Step 1

Butter and line with parchment paper an 8-inch tart pan.

Step 2

First melt the chocolate in a stainless steel bowl over simmering water. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl combine the nuts, candied fruit, spices, flour, and cocoa powder.

Step 4

Place the sugar and honey in a saucepan and, over medium heat, bring to a boil.

Step 5

Using a candy thermometer, heat the mixture to the soft ball stage (240 degrees F).

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir the sugar/honey syrup and the melted chocolate into the chopped nut and fruit mixture.

Step 7

The mixture will stiffen quickly so once combined, transfer to the prepared pan.

Step 8

With damp hands, or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the Panforte, smoothing the top.

Step 9

Bake in a 300 degree F oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the surface has fine blisters.

Step 10

Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.

Step 11

While the Panforte is still warm, remove the sides of the pan and heavily dust the top of the cake with icing sugar.

Step 12

Gently rub the sugar into the cake.

Step 13

Once the cake has completely cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a cool, dry place.

Step 14

Serve this cake in thin slices as it is quite rich.
