Cannoli Cake – Dessert of the Month

Italy’s Culinary Artistry: Celebrating Tradition with Cannoli With A Modern Twist

Cannoli Cake

G’s #580  12 slices

The cannoli cake is a sophisticated dessert that transforms the classic Italian pastry into an indulgent cake. It begins with a cookie crumb base, providing a sturdy yet tender foundation that offers a subtle crunch and a hint of buttery sweetness. This base perfectly complements the creamy layers above.

The star of the dessert is the ricotta filling, a silky and luxurious blend that serves as a tribute to the traditional cannoli. The ricotta is carefully sweetened and studded with chocolate chips, delivering delightful pockets of rich cocoa flavor with every bite. Candied orange peel is folded into the mix, adding a zesty brightness and a touch of chewy texture that enhances the overall flavor profile.

To finish, the cake is topped with short pastry crumbles, reminiscent of the crispy cannoli shell.  A delicate dusting of powdered sugar crowns the cake, imparting a classic, elegant touch and a whisper of sweetness.
