----------------- FOR DUSTING THE PANFORTE ----------------
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 300F. Sift flour with cocoa, cinnamon, and allspice. Mix in nuts and fruit. Set aside. Combine honey and sugar in a large saucepan.

Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.

Syrup should register 238 F. on a candy thermometer, or a bit dropped in cold water should form a soft ball. Remove from heat. Add flour mixture and blend well. Pour into a well-greased 9-inch pie plate or a spring-form cake pan.

Smooth surface with a wet knife.

Bake in a preheated 300F. oven for 30 minutes, or until firm. Remove from oven, sprinkle top with confectioners sugar, and cool on a cake rack. When cake is cool, remove from pan and dust all sides with a thick coating of confectioners sugar. Cut into wedges to serve.
