Traditional Siena Fruitcake Panforte Food
SIENA CAKE - PANFORTE DE SIENA
My husband Steingrim makes this fabulous fruit and nut cake every year for the holidays, and it's one fruit cake that you won't find people using for a door stop! No, our family members tussle over pieces of this stuff. :) The cake originates from Siena, in the Tuscan region of Italy, where it is very popular and is exported to many countries. It is a perfect accompaniment to after-dinner coffee.

Steps:
- Chop almonds, hazelnuts, apricots, pineapple, orange and lemon peel.
- Mix well with flour, cinnamon, and cocoa.
- Put sugar and honey in a saucepan, stirring over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add chocolate to saucepan, stir until melted, and remove from heat.
- Combine with fruit and nut mixture; cut parchment paper circle to fit bottom of 8" well-buttered round cake pan, then butter the paper and evenly spread the batter into the pan.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 35 minutes.
- Let cool in pan.
- Remove cake from pan, wrap in foil, and let stand overnight.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into thin wedges.
- Wrapped in aluminum foil to stay air-tight, it will keep for weeks, refrigeration not needed.
- Note: the Julesong photo accompanying this cake was taken about a month after it was made, because this cake can keep for so long and we forgot to take pics when it was newly done and the powdered sugar was still all pretty. :) Please excuse the slightly messy nature of the cake in the photo - we'll replace it with a good one, next year.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Toast hazelnuts on a baking sheet in the oven until the skins pop and blister, 10 to 15 minutes. Rub the skins from the hazelnuts in a kitchen towel. Toast the almonds on a baking sheet until very pale golden, about 10 to 15 minutes. Chop the almonds and hazelnuts very coarsely.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Mix the nuts, orange peel, citron, lemon zest, flour, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, nutmeg and pepper together thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
- Butter a nine-inch springform pan, line the bottom and sides with parchment paper and then butter the paper.
- Heat the granulated sugar, honey and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the syrup registers 242 to 248 degrees on a candy thermometer (a little of the mixture will form a ball when dropped into cold water). Immediately pour the syrup into the mixture and stir quickly until thoroughly blended. Pour immediately into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. The batter will become stiff and sticky very quickly so you must work fast.
- Bake about 40 minutes. The panforte won't color or seem very firm even when ready but it will harden as it cools. Cool on a rack until the cake is firm to the touch.
- Remove the sides of the pan and invert the cake onto a sheet of waxed paper. Peel off the parchment paper. Dust heavily with confectioners' sugar.
