- 3 Once the mixture is thick and full-bodied, add the beaten egg whites, mixing from the bottom up and incorporating plenty of air. For firmer egg whites, beat them with a small amount of the sugar called for in the recipe.
- 4 At this point, pour the mixture into a panettone mold or a 24 cm diameter baking pan with high edges, after having lined it with baking paper and buttered it.
- 5 Bake the preparation in a preheated oven at 180° for 45 minutes and at the end of the cooking time do the toothpick test, to check that it is dry and that the cake is cooked.
- 6 Once cooked, remove your yogurt panettone from the oven, let it cool, and sprinkle it with icing sugar before serving.
