Italian chocolate cake
Sabtu, 06 Oktober 2018
Panforte is a conventional Italian dessert, a type of cross among a cake and a biscuit. Originating from Tuscany, it’s bursting with nuts, dried fruit and spices – along with masses of fragrant black pepper. With the help of a bit chocolate, I’ve converted it into this indulgent fruit cake

Scrape into the organized tin, degree the top, and bake for 1 hour 30-35 minutes or till a skewer inserted into the middle comes out easy.
