    Ingredients for Sponge Cake - /Pan di Spagna:-
    6 large eggs at room temperature
    2 1/3 cups all purpose flour (300 grams)
    1 1/2 cups of sugar (300 grams)
    1 tsp vanilla/lemon/anisette essence (optional)
    9 inch spring form
    Parchment paper
    Ingredients for Cannoli Cream:-
    2 lbs whole milk ricotta (drained at least 12 hours)
    2 cups confectioners sugar (250 grams)
    1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips (100 grams)
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Pinch of cinnamon
    Ingredients for Simple Syrup/Bagna:-
    1 cup of water (240 ml)
    1/2 cup sugar (100 grams)
    2 oz Grand Marnier Liqueur (60 ml) rum can also be used
    3 peels of orange
    1 cinnamon stick
    Ingredients for Whipped Cream:-
    16 oz heavy whipping cream (480ml)
    2/3 cup confectioners sugar (90 grams)
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Almonds:-
    2 cups sliced almonds (1/4 lb)
    Directions:-
    For Sponge Cake - /Pan di Spagna:-
    Please note- It is very important that the eggs are at room temperature but if you’re like me I never remember to take them out of the refrigerator in time. What I’ve discovered that if cold eggs placed in hot tap water for 5 minutes or while I get my other ingredients together they’ll be ready to use.
    Step#1- Mix eggs and sugar together. Using a stand up mixer or hand held mixer beat until light and airy and tripled in size.
    Step#2- Add the flour in thirds and each time fold in using a spatula. Gently fold moving from bottom to top. Gentle movements so that the batter remains airy and fluffy.
    Step#3- Using cooking spray and grease the spring form. Cut a circle of parchment paper and cover the bottom. Now cut 2 strips of parchment paper about 4 inches tall and the length of the roll.
    Step#4-Place on the side of pan.
    Step#5- Pour batter and bake in pre heated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit(180 Celsius )for 40 minutes. This can be made the day before.
    For Cannoli Cream:-
    Step#1- In a large bowl add ricotta, confectioners sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
    Step#2- Mix with a handheld mixer for a few minutes until creamy. Using a spatula incorporate chocolate chips.
    Step#3- Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
    For Simple Syrup/Bagna:-
    Step#1- Bring to a boil the water, sugar, cinnamon and peels.
    Step#2- Boil for a few minutes until sugar is dissolved. Cool and strain.
    Step#3- Add the liqueur and set aside. It can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator.
    For Whipped Cream:-
    Step#1- Place heavy cream in the freezer for about 5 minutes before whipping.
    Step#2- Using a handheld mixer or a stand up mixer start whipping cream at high speed. Step#3- Add confectioners sugar a tablespoon at a time. Add the vanilla. Once cream is formed don’t over whip. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble cake.
    For Almonds:-
    Step#1- In a 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) toast almonds until golden, about 10 minutes. Careful not to burn.
    For Assembling Cake:-
    Step#1- Cut the sponge cake in 3 even disks/rounds. The bottom of the cake which is very even will be used on top. Sorry sounds confusing, please refer to the video.
    Step#2- In the middle of serving plate add a tablespoon of ricotta cream. Add your first sponge cake disk. Cream will help cake not slide off plate.
    Step#3- Using a spoon slowly wet the cake with liqueur syrup. Now add ricotta cream and spread evenly.
    Step#4- Place another cake disk on top and do the same with the syrup. Add ricotta cream on this layer too.
    Step#5- Final cake disk on top, wet with the remainder of syrup.
    Step#6- Spread a thin layer of whipped cream all around the cake. This acts as a glueing agent the almonds. Using the palm of your hand attach almonds all around the cake.
    Step#7- Using a piping bag and a star/flower tip. (I used Wilton 8B) pipe little rosettes on top of cake in a circular style. Starting from the outer rim and working your way towards the middle.
    Step#8- Decorate with chocolate chips.
    Step#9- Let the cake rest in the refrigerator so the flavors all come together.
    Enjoy!

    Hi Alessandra….how are you feeling? You look and sound amazing. I just sat to watch your recipe for the cannoli cake. OMG!!! my mouth was opened the whole time. My son would probably leave his wife for that cake. They had a cannoli cake for their wedding. You are so good at describing everything and you’re so patient. I get so happy when I watch your videos. Did you get another puppy? I saw him before but forgot to ask. Adorable. I hope your nephew Joseph loved his two fav foods. Ok I’m going to watch some more even tho I think we watched them all. I’m usually up til 6am all the time anyway. Hope you don’t get too much snow. We are getting just rain. Have a great Sunday. High fives to the puppies. Our best to the family. See you on TV.

      Hello my darling Maureen,
      Thank you so much for the kind words. I had the family over yesterday and they were disappointed I didn’t make the cake. I make St Joseph ‘s zeppole because I cooked and a big meal and just didn’t prepare for the cake. :(
      Now I have 2 lbs of ricotta I need to use.
      Yes, you did see a new doggie. We dog sit him on some weekends. He fits right in with our other pets. 🐈🐶🐶. He is also a rescue and so sweet.
      I truly enjoy sharing recipes and I want everyone to make my recipes and not fail. There another version of this cake with canned peaches. It’s so delicious too. Sending you lots of hugs, hope the snow is not so bad. We didn’t get any, just a few flakes.
      Lots of love to you and linguina. 💚🤍♥️💖💚🤍♥️

    • @alessandrasfoodislove

      Dear Chiara,
      The whipped cream should hold without a problem. Otherwise, you could assemble the cake and just add the whip cream before serving. The cake does taste better a day later, because the sponge soaks up all the simple syrup.
      Let me know how it turns out. Don’t to drain the ricotta overnight.
