Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Panforte. Panforte (pronounced pan-FOHR-tay) is a Christmas fruit cake originating from Siena Italy. It also goes by the name Siena Cake. Although it does have some similarities to the 'British' fruit cake (containing the traditional fruit, nuts, and spices) its' texture and flavor are very different. Bite into a slice of Panforte and you may be surprised to find how chewy it is. This chewy texture comes from mixing the fruit, nuts, spices, and flour (just enough to bind the ingredients), with a boiled syrup made from sugar and honey. This sugar/honey syrup, along with the addition of melted chocolate and cocoa powder, gives this Christmas cake an almost candy-like texture and flavor which is hard to resist, even for those who normally dislike fruit cake.
