Step-by-step instructions

   Slice the panettone horizontally into six thin slices. Set aside. For the buttercream, beat the butter, icing sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy, then add the spices and orange zest.

2. 2

   Place the bottom slice of panettone on a plate and spread one-fifth of the buttercream on it. Sprinkle one-fifth of the hazelnuts, then cover with the next slice of panettone. Repeat until all cream and nuts are used, finishing with a top slice of panettone. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving.
