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!
