CHOCOLATE CANNOLI CAKE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Instructions: 1) To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan. 2) In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, baking powder, espresso powder, and cocoa to make a sandy, somewhat clumpy mixture. Don't worry; the eggs will smooth things out. 3) Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl midway through this process. 4) Add half the flour to the bowl, beating at low speed to combine. 5) Add all of the milk, beating at low speed to combine. 6) Add the remaining flour, beating gently just until the batter is smooth. 7) Pour the batter into the prepared pan. 8) Bake the cake for about 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top may look a tiny bit damp; that's OK. If you have an instant-read thermometer, the center will register 210°F to 215°F, while just under the top will register about 198°F to 200°F. 9) Remove the cake from the oven, loosen the edges, wait 10 minutes, and turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. 10) Store completely cooled cake well wrapped, at room temperature, until ready to fill and frost. 11) To make the filling: Stir together the ricotta, sugar, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. 12) To make the frosting: sift the cocoa, confectioners' sugar, and espresso powder into a bowl. 13) Bring the cream to a simmer on the stove or in the microwave, and whisk into the cocoa mixture. At first the mixture will look grainy; continue whisking for a minute. You'll see the lumps disappear as the sugar dissolves and the cocoa hydrates. Set aside to cool to room temperature. 14) Place the butter, salt, and sifted confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. 15) Beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. 16) With the mixer running on low speed, add the cocoa mixture a spoonful at a time until it's all incorporated. Scrape the bowl, then beat at medium speed for 1 minute. 17) To assemble the cake: Split the cake in thirds lengthwise, to make 3 layers. Brush the cut side of each layer with simple syrup or vanilla syrup; this will help keep the cake moist. 18) Place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread with half the ricotta filling. Top with the second layer, and spread with the remaining filling. Place the third layer on top. 19) Ice the cake - top and sides - with the frosting. 20) Serve immediately; or refrigerate, well-wrapped, until ready to serve, preferably not longer than 24 hours. Cut in crosswise slices to serve. Yield: 8 to 12 servings. tips: As with any cake, refrigeration will dry it out. If not served immediately, this should be refrigerated, and is best served within a day of preparation. When wrapping, stick a couple of skewers or toothpicks into the top, to keep the plastic wrap from sticking to the icing.
CAKE AND CANNOLI CUSTARD CREAM FILLING
very good cream filling.. Note: I also made this with using only 250 ml of Nurti Whip and it turns out a little heavier but is great believe me..this is a three for one recipe here..as you can also use the filling without the nutri whip too with good tasting results. Use this filling for tarts, cream puffs, or cakes and although not a traditional cannoli filling its great in those too. Nutri Whip is a Canadian Product, it is similar to Rich's Ready to Whip Topping. It is liquid and needs to be beaten just like whipping cream, without sugar added.

- Cool two hours, covered with saran (not to get a skin on top) or until cold.
- Beat nutri whip and then fold into the cold custard.
- Blending well, the cold mixture is hard to fold in( as it has set to a thick custard) so using beaters low speed is also good results.
- Fill cannoli-- or filling and topping for cakes.this should be stored in the refrigerator, because of the Nutri whip topping.
- I have never made this with reg. whipping cream, always Nurti Whip.

Steps:

- Stir together ricotta cheese, half 'n' half, sour cream and egg yolks until well blended. Fold in flour until incorporated. Pour in the melted butter, sugar, orange zest, juice and extracts and stir till blended. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff . Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture until well incorporated and there are little or no streaks of egg white visible.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan with the waterbath. Bake for approximately 30 min to an hour or just until the top is brown and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes (run a knife around the edge and release the springform) and let chill for around 6-8 hours or overnight and serve with either whipped cream or chocolate shavings (optional).

CUSTARD FILLED CANNOLI IN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- First make custard for the cannolis. Heat milk in medium saucepan over medium heat-don't let it boil, just get very warm. While that heats up, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, corn starch, and salt in another medium bowl. Slowly whisk in a cup of hot milk, stirring constantly so the milk doesn't cook the egg. Pour mixture back into pan of hot milk & continue heating on medium heat, again stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Once mixture starts to thicken (or reaches about 170 degrees), remove from heat and immediately stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into a clean bowl (run it through a fine strainer first to remove any lumps) and let cool in fridge. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of custard to keep a skin from forming. While it cools, prepare the batter. First, pre-heat oven to 350. In medium bowl stir flour and cocoa powder together and set aside. Cream together butter and sugar in a stand mixer. Add eggs one at a time, then add baking powder, vanilla, baking soda, salt. Once combined, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix for another 30 seconds, and slowly drizzle in cooled melted chocolate. Add flour/cocoa mixture and milk, 1/2 c of each at a time, mixing constantly. Fill six of the cannoli shells with cooled custard. A pastry bag makes this really easy, but you could also use a spoon. Just make sure custard gets into center of the cannoli shell Put heaping 1/2 c of batter into bottom of six small loaf pans. Place a filled cannoli in the center of each pan then spoon more batter on top, gently spreading to edges of pans. You want sides and top of cannoli to be completely covered, but pans should only be 3/4 full. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 until cake is set and cracks in top are dry. Allow to cool completely then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Tips:
- To make the cannoli shells, you will need a cannoli form. These can be purchased online or at kitchenware stores.
- When making the custard filling, be sure to cook it over low heat and stir constantly. This will prevent the custard from curdling or burning.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off to pipe the custard filling into the cannoli shells.
- To make the chocolate cake, you can use a box mix or your favorite homemade recipe. Just be sure to bake the cake according to the package directions or recipe.
- When assembling the cannoli cakes, be sure to use a serrated knife to cut the cake into even layers.
- If you are short on time, you can make the cannoli cakes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cannoli cakes are a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy cannoli shell, creamy custard filling, and rich chocolate cake, these cakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
