Panettone Baileys’ Cake
When I walked into the grocery store today, they had panettone on sale from $12.00 to $1.75. I couldn’t leave it there; and thus, my Panettone Baileys’ Cake. This is an easy dessert that you can make with this Italian traditional cake. I always like to take the easy way with desserts when I can.
My mom made a similar version over Christmas, but she used brandy in hers and strawberries and blueberries to decorate. I added chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to mine . This is a light, fluffy and delicious dessert made with a few ingredients, but has the taste of something that you would spend hours making.
I paid $1.75 for this panettone; it is a plain one with no fruit or filling.
Always try to incorporate some light and healthy choices in your desserts without compromising taste.
Good healthy fats. I choose walnuts, but you can choose your favourite nut.
The star of my dish; I love Baileys’ in just about everything.
A few chocolate chips give this dessert some extra crunch and sweetness.
The coffee and Baileys’ come together; honestly, I could drink this now.
Slice the panettone lengthwise and ensure that the pieces fit the dish.
The second layer goes in.
Done and ready to sit in the refrigerator.
Layers of goodness!!
Mom’s version of the cake and it was above and beyond delicious. She omitted the chocolate chips, used strawberries and rum instead. I had two pieces.

Choose your favourite nuts for this dish.
If you want to use rum, omit the coffee and add 1/2 a cup of simple syrup. Here is a simple video on simple syrup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43nfpIFuMkc
