Nigellas Italian Christmas Italian Christmas pudding cake. This recipe is my own but at the same time a conflation of a couple of Italian Christmas must haves the glorious, fruit studded panettone and crema di mascarpone, which is best described as tiramisu without the savoiardi biscuit layer, and sometimes with pieces of chocolate stirred through the mascarpone mixture. I have brought in a cassata element, which means I add, along with the chocolate, some crumbled marrons glacs though any candied or dried fruits could do and chopped pistachios. The pomegranate seeds I tumble over the top at the end are there for their beauty as well as to add a further seasonal touch but, importantly, are according to my Italian publisher thought to bring luck and should therefore be an indispensable part of the Christmas table.

With all the liqueur, chocolate, mascarpone and other sweetmeats involved here, youd think it would be unbearably rich instead, it is curiously elegant. If sophisticated werent such an unsophisticated term, Id be tempted to use it to describe this glorious creation. Ive called it Italian Christmas pudding cake because, while it does possess very much the elements of an Italian Christmas and is presented in cake form, for me it also invokes the liqueur laden fruitiness in lighter guise of our own traditional Christmas pudding. I use Tuaca to soak the panettone slices, as this Italian vanilla liqueur with its citrus essences and brandied undertones has always seemed to me to be panettone in alcohol form and I also tend to put a splosh of it in prosecco to create an aromatic and festive cup of seasonal cheer, but really you can use rum, brandy or Grand Marnier in its place. Indeed, if you dont want to splash out on more than one bottle for this pudding, simply use the Marsala thats in the mascarpone mixture. Naturally, you can substitute pandoro for the panettone if you want to do away with the dried fruit element, and you can also dispense with the marrons glacs the beautiful ones overleaf are from the venerable Giovanni Galli in Milan not by replacing them with other candied fruits, but by upping the quantities of chocolate and nuts instead. Talking of which, I found some adorable mini chocolate chips in America and have sourced them near home and they are my chocolate of choice here, but regular chocolate chips, or finely chopped chocolate dark, milk or white can be used without anxiety. Still on the chocolate theme although this magnificent pudding cake needs absolutely no accompaniment, if you have an excess of chocolates that people have given you at Christmas, you can chop them up crumble them into the cream if theyre chocolate liqueurs and use them in place of chopped chocolate in a chocolate sauce which must be at room temperature when serving. Ive written at length about the cake, and there may seem to be many steps to the recipe overleaf. This conceals the fact that it is ludicrously, dazzlingly easy to make it doesnt require cooking or technical brilliance it is merely an assembly job.
