cinnamon cake

This <strong>Cannoli Layer Cake</strong> is a light, moist cinnamon cake filled with mascarpone &amp; ricotta filling, then frosted with mascarpone frosting! Covered in mini chocolate chips, this treat has all the best parts of a cannoli in one delicious cake!

Cannoli Layer Cake

(168 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(310 grams) sugar

(173 grams) sour cream

tsp vanilla extract

(325 grams) all purpose flour

tsp (15 grams) baking powder

cinnamon

salt

(180 milliliters) milk

(60 milliliters) water

(315 grams/12 oz) ricotta cheese, room temperature

(283 grams/10 oz) mascarpone cheese, room temperature*

(144 grams) powdered sugar

(565 grams/20 oz) mascarpone cheese, room temperature*

(288 grams) powdered sugar

vanilla

Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) .

. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.

. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

. Add egg whites in two batches, mixing until well combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then combine the milk and water in a small measuring cup.

. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until well combined. Add the milk mixture and mix until well combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

. Divide the batter evenly between the cakes pans and bake for about 21-23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for about 3-5 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.

. While the cakes cool, make the filling. To make the filling, add all the ingredients to a mixer bowl and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix or mix on a high speed or the mascarpone cheese will become thin and watery. If you are using a ricotta cheese that is watery, you may want to strain it first.

0. Place the filling in the fridge to firm up a bit, about 2-3 hours.

1. When the cakes are cool and the filling is ready, build the cake. First, remove the domes from the tops of the cake layers with a large serrated knife.

2. Place the first layer of cake on a cake circle or serving stand, then spread about 1 1/2 cups of filling on top. It should have firmed up in the fridge, but might still be a bit soft, so work relatively quickly.

3. Repeat with the next layer of cake and filling, then top the cake with the final layer of cake.

4. Use any remaining filling to quickly add a crumb coat to the cake, then place the cake in the fridge to firm up, 2-3 hours. If you have a large cake carrier to store it in, that’s best.

While the cake firms up, make the frosting. To make the frosting, add all the ingredients to a mixer bowl and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix or mix on a high speed or the mascarpone cheese will become thin and watery.
16

Place the frosting in the fridge to firm up a bit, about 2-3 hours.
17

When the cake and frosting are ready, frost the outside of the cake. I used my offset spatula to get a nice, even layer. Keep aside about 1/2 – 3/4 cup of frosting for the border.
18.

ress the mini chocolate chips onto the sides of the cake.
19.

ipe a border around the top edge of the cake. I used Ateco tip 844, but Wilton 2D or 1M would work as well.
20.

efrigerate cake until ready to serve.


* Room temperature is relative, as some people’s homes are warmer than others. Mascarpone cheese is quite sensitive to heat. You want it to still be a bit chilled, but not too cold or firm. I often take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before I need it to take some of the chill off of it, but still have it cool. Mascarpone cheese, if it gets too warm, will get too soft and doesn’t do well at firming back up.

Delish!  Everyone liked the cake at our holiday party and it was a looker on the table too!  I especially liked the chocolate chips and might put some in the filling next time.  Thanks for another great recipe.

Hello Jess,
I have just completed baking this absolutely delicious cinnamon tea cake!
5 stars all the way!!!!  
The recipe is spot-on,  and very flexible - I added some crushed walnuts to the batter.  
Soft, flavourful and scrumptious!
Congrats on your excellent post, and thanks for sharing!

I halved the recipe to make a small batch, turned them into mini muffins and subbed soy milk for dairy milk (all I had) and subbed brown sugar for white sugar (I just felt like it would have a nicer flavour! Turned out so yummy, thank you for the recipe 😊 they were gone within the hour.

Absolutely delicious! Made this today for a group of friends, one of whom is gluten intolerant. I substituted plain flour for gluten-free flour. It turned out a treat. Light and moist. Jess, thank you for this recipe. I will definitely be baking this again soon.

This is the best cake I have ever made. It came out perfect. Well risen and light and moist. So tasty and kept well. I cannot believe how easy it was to make. My baking is a bit hit and miss so I think the success is mainly down to the quality of this recipe. Thank you.

Let cool In the pan for 10 minutes (but no longer or the caramel will firm up and stick to the pan!). Run a knife around the outside edge, place a wire rack over the top and, holding the wire rack and cake pan together with oven mitts, carefully flip the cake right-side up, setting it over a plate or baking sheet to catch any caramel spills. Spoon any caramel left in the pan over the top, and if any banana bits remain stuck to the top, carefully put them back on the cake. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Each bite of this Cinnamon Sugar Cake is perfectly sweet, soft, and oh-so comforting! There’s no combo quite like cinnamon and sugar, and this easy cake recipe balances the warm notes of cinnamon perfectly with the sweetness of sugar. 

Cinnamon Cake

unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)

sour cream

confectioners' sugar

whipping cream or whole milk

Tablespoon cinnamon-sugar (sprinkle on top of cake)

Preheat oven to 350°F. To easily remove the cake from the pan and reduce possible crumbs, put a circular piece of parchment at the bottom of the pan.  You can trace the pan on the parchment and then cut it out and place it inside the pan the two 9-inch round baking pans and then spray non-stick baking spray. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer on medium speed, beat eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy. Add the butter and vanilla extract and beat on low speed for about 1 minute, or until well blended. Beat in the dry ingredients on low speed until blended. DO NOT OVER MIX! Add the sour cream and beat until smooth.

Divide batter evenly into prepared baking pans.&nbsp;Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.&nbsp;Allow cake to cool before frosting.
