YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Skye McAlpine’ s panettone mascarpone and almond cake By You Magazine - December 6, 2020 This panettone, mascarpone and almond cake is a wonderful way to make use of a slightly stale panettone. Once iced, it should really be eaten within a day. Skye McAlpine SERVES 10 250g salted butter, softened 500g icing sugar 320g mascarpone, at room temperature 100g ground almonds 1 panettone (about 1kg) 3 glacé cherries, to decorate a small handful of bay leaves, to decorate 1. Beat the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. 2. Sift in half the icing sugar and beat until well combined. Add the remaining icing sugar and beat until smooth. Beat in the mascarpone until just combined, taking care not to overbeat or the mixture will become grainy and lumpy. 3. Stir in the ground almonds. 4. Using a bread knife, slice off the ‘muffin top’ from the panettone to create a level surface; discard the trimmings (if I don’t gobble them up there and then, I cut them into small fingers to serve for breakfast or afternoon tea). 5. Peel away the wrapping around the sides of the panettone, then cut horizontally through the middle with the bread knife to create 2 or 3 tiers of cake. How many will depend on the height of your panettone; some are a little taller and comfortably allow for 3 layers, while others are more squat and allow for 2. 6. Place the bottom layer of panettone on a cake stand or serving dish and spread a generous dollop of the mascarpone and almond cream on top. 7. Top with the second layer of panettone (and repeat with a third layer, if you have one). Spread the last of the cream over the top and sides, then decorate with the glacé cherries and bay leaves.
