Cannoli Cake
Source: Sargento Foods, Inc.
Cake
4 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan and set aside.
In a large bowl of electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar on medium speed until thick, about 5 minutes. Gently fold in flour and butter; pour into reserved pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until cake feels firm when touched in center. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
Ricotta Filling
1 cup whipping cream
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In a large bowl of electric mixer, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 90 seconds. Set aside. In another large bowl, beat ricotta cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until light, about 3 minutes. Fold in reserved whipped cream and chocolate chips.
Cut cooled cake in half horizontally using a sharp serrated knife. Cut each layer in half again horizontally, forming four, thin round layers. Place 1 layer on serving platter; spread with one-third of filling. Repeat procedure, ending with cake layer.
Whipped Cream Frosting
2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large bowl of electric mixer, beat cream on high speed to soft peaks, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla extract; beat just enough to combine. Frost sides and top of cake with all but 1 cup of frosting. Decorate top of cake with remaining frosting and garnish with chopped chocolate and fruit, if desired. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Garnish
1/4 cup chopped semisweet chocolate (optional)
Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Take the Cannoli : Stories From the New WorldView This Product at Amazon
Take the Cannoli is a moving and wickedly funny collection of personal stories stretching across the immense landscape of the American scene. Hailed by Newsweek as a "cranky stylist with talent to burn," Vowell has an irresistible voice -- caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged -- that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on This American Life.
While tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears.
Take the Cannoli is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns.
The Last CannoliView This Product at Amazon
This is a fast-paced read in a voice that is fresh and powerful. It introduces the Donitella family, ordinary people with extraordinary tales to tell. Spanning four decades the novel opens its mouth-watering tale in the '50s when the father's ritual story-telling begins to take on the power of prayer. The Donitellas will stay with you and you'll keep thinking of them as one thinks of interesting people one has just met.
