Easy Cassata This slimmed-down version of the traditional Italian dessert is delicious and worth the effort. Ingredients Cassata: 1 (16-ounce) frozen all-butter pound cake, thawed 1/4 cup orange curaçao 2 cups ricotta cheese 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 1/2 cup grated semisweet chocolate Chocolate Frosting: 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces 1/4 cup sour cream 1/8 teaspoon salt Instructions For cassata, slice pound cake lengthwise into thirds. Sprinkle cut side of each layer with curaçao. Set aside. Combine ricotta, confectioners’ sugar and chocolate. Spread half of mixture on bottom layer of cake. Cover with center layer of pound cake. Spread with remaining half of mixture. Cover with top cake layer. Cover and refrigerate overnight. For frosting, melt chocolate and sour cream together over low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in salt. Spread over top and sides of chilled cake. Back To Cakes and Bakery Delights Recipes Feel Free To Email Me Anytime Back To The Index Page
