panettone-cream-cake-with-strawberries-and-pistachio

This is a panettone-based cake that worked better than I expected. It started as part of a brand collaboration, but I wanted to do something a bit more interesting than just serving it as is. Using only two slices for a cake might feel a bit unnecessary — and honestly, I get that, as panettone on its own is already very good. But layered with cream and strawberries, it turns into something quite different. It’s soft, light, and surprisingly balanced. I used a raisin panettone (mainly because that’s what I had), which adds a slightly deeper flavour and works well with the strawberries. If you want something cleaner, for example, a plain or pistachio version would be a great option. It’s a simple idea, but the cream needs to be handled carefully to keep it smooth and stable. Get that right, and it’s an easy way to make something that feels a bit special. For this recipe, I used an 18 cm diameter, 6 cm high cake ring. Difficulty – Intermediate
