How to Make Panettone Festive Cake

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the candied fruit and raisins.
  6. Grease and flour a 10-inch panettone mold (or a similar-sized Bundt pan).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
