Panettone, ricotta and peach cake

Serves 8



Cake
1 900 gm   panettone
600 gm   fresh ricotta
50 gm   bitter dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
50 gm   glacé orange, finely chopped
50 gm   blanched almonds, roasted and coarsely chopped
1 tbsp   icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
2 tbsp   Grand Marnier
4   peaches, halved, stoned and cut into thin wedges


1 Using a serrated knife, cut top off panettone to make a neat cylinder shape, then trim crust from cylinder and cut widthways into four 1cm-thick slices. Reserve trimmed panettone for another use.
2 Push ricotta through a fine sieve into a bowl, then add chocolate, glacé orange, almonds, icing sugar and half the liqueur and combine well. Spread 1/3 cup ricotta mixture over bottom slice of panettone, press another slice over the top, then repeat spreading and layering, finishing with a layer of ricotta. Combine peaches with remaining liqueur, then top panettone with one-third of the peaches. Serve cake cut into wedges, with remaining sliced peaches passed separately. Cake is best served on day of making.


Drink Suggestion 2000 Deutz Marlborough Blanc de Blanc.
