PANETTONE CAKE PAN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine yeast, water and sugar. Cover and let stand 10 minutes, or until foamy. Add eggs, yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well. Stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms into a manageable ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until dough is soft and pliable, but not sticky. (May need up to 5 cups flour.) Place dough in a large, lightly pan-sprayed bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray a round 8-inch cake pan with non-stick spray. In a small bowl, toss dried fruit with confectioners' sugar. Punch down dough in bowl, transfer to floured surface, and knead in the fruit.
• Form dough into a ball, place in prepared cake pan, cover loosely with dish towel, and let rise 30 minutes. (Loaf will rise above the pan sides.) Brush with melted butter, if desired. Bake for 45 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 10 wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an angel food cake pan.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in remaining 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, brandy, rum, anise extract, and lemon zest.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat gradually into the creamed butter mixture. Fold in raisins, candied fruit, candied cherries, and almonds. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
