Prepare panpepato.
The Panpepato is a round and sweet cake, typical of the Province of Terni. This specialty is made with walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, honey and raisins. It’s a real “energy cake”, which makes it a very appreciated dessert during the Christmas season.
The origin of this specialty dates back to ancient times. Currently, each family follows its own reviewed recipe that might differ slightly from the traditional one.
I suggest you to make the panpepato.
