4/5 (3)Published Mar 3, 2022Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Easy Ciambella Recipe (Italian Breakfast Cake) Ciambella cake is similar to an American bundt cake; it features a comparable shape and uses similarly simple ingredients.
- Homemade Italian Cream Cake. This pillowy soft, ultra-moist cake features the sweet flavors of coconut and vanilla and includes a cup of chopped pecans for added texture and nuttiness.
- Italian Style Lemon Ricotta Cake. Ricotta cheese is such a strange, versatile food, and no one can use it as expertly as Italian chefs. They move it flawlessly back and forth between sweet and savory foods, adding it to things like lasagna and cakes in equal measure.
- Cassata Ricotta (Sponge Cake with Ricotta) Here’s another delicious cake featuring ricotta cheese. This one is light and spongy, and it’s covered on all sides with thick and creamy ricotta icing.
- Italian Lemon Olive Oil Cake. This cake looks delicate and elegant, but it’s packed with vibrant lemon flavor. It takes less than an hour to make and is lightly sweet (beneath all the lemon zestiness).
- Italian Chocolate Walnut Cake (Torta di Noci) You’ve probably already noticed that many Italian cakes come sans frosting. That’s not true of all of them, of course, but it’s true of many.
- Cannoli Pound Cake. You’ve probably heard of cannoli, but cannoli pound cake might not be something you’re familiar with. It has the same sweet, tangy, and chocolate-filled taste as authentic cannoli.
- Zuccotto. Even if you’ve never heard the word ‘zuccotto’ before, I’ll bet you’ve seen one of these famous dome-shaped cakes in a movie or television show.
- Classic Italian Rainbow Cake. Classic Italian rainbow cake is a super-sized cake that’s multicolored on the inside and covered in chocolate ganache and sprinkles on the outside.
- Italian Panettone. Panettone is another tall cake famous for its height and domed top. It’s somewhere between bread and cake, and it has an odd, almost cotton-candy-like texture that’ll remind you of a king cake.
