This cannoli cake recipe comes collectively in three elements: the creamy mascarpone filling, the fluffy cake layers, and the do-it-yourself vanilla frosting. Let’s get began:

Put together the Cannoli Filling: Combine the mascarpone with ricotta, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. Subsequent, fold within the chocolate chips, and transfer the filling into the fridge to sit back.

Make the Batter: Whereas the oven preheats to 350ºF, cream the butter and sugar collectively. Proceed to combine and add oil, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, then a pinch of salt. As soon as the combination is easy, alternate including buttermilk and flour till mixed. Bear in mind to scrape down the perimeters of the bowl alongside the way in which!  

Bake: Divide the cake batter evenly between the three spherical pans lined with parchment paper. Bake till the facilities of the muffins are set. This normally takes about half an hour, give or take, however preserve an eye fixed. The muffins are accomplished when you may stick a toothpick into the center and it comes out clear. Go away the muffins to chill within the pans for a bit, then take away them from the pans to chill fully earlier than frosting.

Assemble the Cake: Start with the primary cake layer, and prime it with half of the chilled cannoli filling. Layer the second cake over prime, adopted by the remaining filling. Lastly, prime with the third cake layer. Utilizing an offset spatula, unfold the vanilla frosting excessive and sides of the cake to coat. Then garnish as you’d like! 

I can’t resist an excuse to make use of my pourable chocolate ganache, so I went all out for the pictures. I then topped my drip cake with chocolate chips and precise mini cannoli pastries from my favourite bakery. Something goes! See the following part for much more concepts.

Useful Hints and Straightforward Variations

  • Know If the Ricotta Wants Draining: Retailer-bought ricotta cheese usually is available in brine or liquid. In the event you discover that the ricotta you’ve gotten is dry inside the bathtub, you may skip draining it. In any other case, to eliminate any extra moisture within the cannoli filling, you’ll want to empty the ricotta first. To do that, place a sieve lined with cheesecloth over a bowl. Add the ricotta and let it drain, loosely lined, within the fridge for no less than 4 hours (you may even depart it in a single day).
  • Don’t Overmix: Keep away from over-mixing your cake batter. You need that batter good and ethereal for deliciously tender, gentle cake layers. You should definitely solely combine till the components are simply mixed, as overdoing it could possibly result in a denser cake.
  • Make a Drip Cake: As you may see, this cannoli cake seems superb as a drip cake! It’s tremendous straightforward to do utilizing my pourable Chocolate Ganache Recipe. Extremely advocate!
  • Toppings: You may be as modest or as all-out as you’d like with regards to adorning your cake. Prime your cake with a drizzle of Caramel Sauce or Easy Strawberry Syrup, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or recent fruit.
  • Frosting: Change up the vanilla frosting with different kinds of do-it-yourself frosting. Strive my recipes for Heritage Frosting, Whipped Nutella Frosting, and even Perfect Party Frosting for a special day! You too can prime your cake with swirls of buttercream (try piping ideas in my recipe for Creamy Chocolate Frosting).

Does Cannoli Cake Have to Be Refrigerated?

Sure. All that cream requires chilling! Retailer your cannoli cake hermetic within the fridge for as much as 3 days. To take the nippiness off for serving, take the cake out about 10-Quarter-hour beforehand.

Can I Freeze Cannoli Cake?

Sure, it’s attainable to freeze this cake. I like to recommend freezing it after it’s frosted, however earlier than you’ve gone forward with any chocolate drips or garnishes. 

I additionally counsel letting the frosting harden within the fridge for some time earlier than you wrap the cake. As soon as the frosting is ready, wrap the cake in plastic wrap to maintain frozen for as much as 2 months. Thaw the cake within the fridge in a single day earlier than adorning and/or serving.

Notes

  • Retailer hermetic within the fridge for as much as 3 days. Earlier than serving, take away from the fridge and let sit for Quarter-hour to take the nippiness off.
  • One other fairly adorning method could possibly be a drip cake utilizing my pourable chocolate ganache recipe.
  • Know If the Ricotta Wants Draining: With most store-bought ricotta cheese you have to to pressure it in order that it’s thicker when used for pastry filling. (In case your ricotta already seems dry within the tub with out numerous extra moisture you may skip this!) Line a sieve with a cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Loosely cowl and permit this to sit down within the fridge in a single day. In a pinch, 4 hours will normally do the trick for this recipe, as you aren’t utilizing a considerable amount of ricotta.
