Panforte is a traditional spiced cake from Siena in Tuscany, which is often consumed at Christmas and other special occasions. It comes in two varieties:
Dark - the top is coated in spices and contains candied melon
White - the top is sprinkled with sugar
The white sort is often called 'Panforte Margherita' and was so named in honour of the visit to Siena of Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1879. It is this variety which is most commonly seen today and is the subject of this recipe.
