- Difficulty: Very Easy
- Cost: Very Cheap
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 6-8
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: Christmas
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups sugar
- Half packet baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 orange zest
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Steps
Beat the eggs with the sugar until very frothy.
Gradually add the sifted flour with the baking powder, folding gently by hand or with beaters.
Alternate the flour with oil and milk, add the citrus zests.
Pour the mixture into a panettone mold, add the dark chocolate pieces; if they are too large, they may sink to the bottom, yet the batter is very soft.
Bake at 350°F in a hot oven, for about 25-30 minutes, always perform a toothpick test.
If needed, extend the time a bit; I found 25 minutes to work well.
Remove from oven, let cool a bit, and dust with powdered sugar or prepare a white glaze and cover the panettone.
Beat the egg white to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt and 2 drops of lemon juice, then add the powdered sugar and mix a bit to combine the mixture.
Let the glaze dry before serving.
Bon appétit
