CANNOLI CAKE RECIPE

If you make this into a two layer cake you may want to cut back on the frosting recipe. If you make the 4 layers, you’ll have enough frosting for a thin layer of filling between each layer and a thin layer on the outside of the cannoli cake.

I didn’t have much frosting left for piping. If you want to do a lot of piping or have a thicker layer, you may want to make extra frosting.

Ingredients

Cake Batter:

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup milk

Frosting;

• 1 tub (10 ounces) ricotta cheese drained if needed, (see note below)
• 1 tub (16 ounces) mascarpone cheese drained if needed
• 3 cups powdered sugar (possibly more if needed to thicken frosting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 bag (10 ounces) mini chocolate chips divided (if you want a lot of chocolate chips on the outside, you may want to have another bag on hand)
