Italian Panforte christmas cake for 10 minutes (baking time +)

I cook simple, amazing recipe for the famous Italian pastries. Christmas cake or cake Panforte, or rather one of its varieties.

I take 100 grams of walnuts, cashews and unsalted peanuts. Everything has been browned.

I also take 100 grams of raisins and 50 grams of dried apricots and prunes. Prunes I already soft, I had hot water will not flood, but the raisins and dried apricots flooded. For 10 minutes, they are soft.

Walnut cut into fairly large pieces.

Coarsely chopped cashews.

Peanuts I'm not going to cut and immediately send to the overall dish.

Raisin, I threw in a colander and leave to the nuts.

Prunes and dried apricots cut into slightly smaller, easier way to do it with scissors.

The Christmas cake is required to add fragrant spices. In one embodiment, the added black pepper, but I decided not to risk :)

I add lemon zest, dry ginger and cinnamon.

Add 160 grams of flour and well mixed.

Melt chocolate or a water bath or in a microwave oven. I send honey and melted chocolate in a bowl.

First, I knead the shoulder blade, then helping hands. Everything should unite in chocolate honey mass.
