Mini Panettone Fruit Cakes

Mini Panettone Fruit Cakes

This last minute Christmas recipe is a match between Fruit Cake and Panettone. Since Italian Panettone is very long and not easy to make (I’ve started to make my Panettone 1 month ago!), I’ve got Panettone flavor thanks to Butter, Eggs, Orange, Raisins and Honey, and mix them in an easy Fruit Cake batter than you can make in few minutes. These Mini Fruit Cakes are rich and full of flavors!

In this recipe you’ll find ingredients that are no traditional in Panettone (like Candied Cherries) and lacks for a traditional Fruit Cake (alcohol, molasses..), just because I’ve matched the best of the two recipes 😉
