Instructions

  1. Creating Easy Cannoli Cake is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until no lumps remain.
  6. Divide and Pour: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Cannoli Cream: In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  10. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  11. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated.
  12. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of cannoli cream over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with more cream.
  13. Garnish: Top with additional chocolate chips and chopped pistachios for a beautiful finish. With these easy steps, your Easy Cannoli Cake will be ready to impress!
