Ingredients
- 2⅓ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter (cubed and softened)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ⅓ cup milk (2% or whole milk)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½-⅔ cup candied fruit
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 cup raisins
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven 350F/180g. Grease and flour or spray an 8 inch round cake pan.
- Place the raisins in a small/medium bowl and cover with boiling water (or rum or orange juice) let soak 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl add the butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, baking powder, milk, egg and salt. Mix until the dough is almost combined.
- Add the candied fruit, pine nuts and raisins in the middle, mix until blended. Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and form into a round shape. With a sharp knife cut a cross or X in the dough.
- Place the dough in the prepared pan, with a sharp knife cut a cross or X in the dough. Bake for approximately 40-50 or until a toothpick comes out clean. If it is browning too much then place a piece of foil over (like a tent) the cake and continue to bake. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- Store: Leftover panettone genovese can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Freeze: Freeze pandolce whole or sliced in the freezer for up to one month. I like to wrap it in plastic wrap then foil to prevent freezer burn then thaw at room temperature.
