I'm not sure how accurate the recipe for this cake - the original panforte sugar mixture is heated to 116C, which in turn gives a characteristic texture as cool. However, I have prepared the cake exactly as in the recipe in this respect - just melted honey with sugar until liquefy (honey was my candy). I put dried fruit mix and I had to add more honey - I used to 100 g somewhere, maybe more. You have to work fast with warm honey, otherwise it becomes difficult agitation. Baking took me 20 minutes, I used pan 22h12 cm, I think round 20 cm will be suitable too. Get something very very tasty, would badly, but is impossible to stop a thin piece, highly recommend the recipe :)
