The Pancetone with chocolate chips is not just your usual sponge cake… but a blend of flavors with brandy… that makes this dessert delicious!
You absolutely must try making it even for your kids, as the alcohol evaporates during baking, leaving only the flavor!
You might wonder why this name “pancetone”, honestly it’s just a name I once read in a sponge cake recipe in a cookbook, and inspired by that recipe, I kept this name.
A dessert that really takes me back to when I wasn’t more than 15 years old, but I was already experimenting in the kitchen.
I’ve been making it for many years, so it’s a really tried-and-true dessert that always turns out well.
Great for a snack, breakfast, or even to take to school for a treat.
Make it too, and let me know!!!
If you make this or any other of my recipes on my blog, feel free to send me your photos, and I’ll post them on my FB page with your name.
