Cannoli Poke Cake
28Jul2015 Filed under: Recipes Author: Tasha
Have you ever had a Cannoli before???
You know those Italian fried tube shaped pastry shells filled with a pastry cream sprinkled with mini chocolate chips dusted with powdered sugar!
If you answered no, we are seriously gonna have to talk…
If you answered yes, then one point for you đ
Mmmm Cannoli’s…. YUM!
Well this cake pays tribute to Cannoli’s.
Let’s just start with the cake itself…
First off it’s a simple boxed white cake that is baked then when cooled topped with sweetened condensed milk that is poured all over the cake.
Yes! condensed milk, which I think is in a food category by itself of pure lusciousness.  Now, I only poured half of the can and allowed it to soak into the cake.
Place it in the fridge for an hour.
Try not to eat the cake at this point…
Now comes the famous cannoli filling/icing-frosting or what we will be using as the frosting.  This cannoli frosting is definitely the best part of the cake.  It’s not overly sweet like most frosting’s but is the perfect pairing with this cake.
Plus you top it off with mini chocolate chips and dusted powdered sugar…
You may find yourself licking the pan when its all said done… I won’t tell anyone! đ

We had our fair share of cannolis when we lived in New York, but I’ve never tried these flavors in a cake. That needs to change!
