Cannoli Cake
Tip
This cake smells absolutely delicious as it bakes. YUMMO!!
SUBSTITUTING INGREDIENTS
You can substitute the lemon and orange zest with 60 grams of candied peel
Add in cranberries or glace cherries for some more colour and flavour
You can substitute the ricotta for cottage cheese or yoghurt making this a versatile cake depending on the ingredients you have at hand.
For a scrumptious dessert you can serve a slice with icecream or with hot chocolate or vanilla custard.
This cake freezes well!!
This cake tastes great the first day and improves over subsequent days - it will remain moist and tasty.
The taste and smell takes me back to the pasticcerias in Italy. Serve warm or cold.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
