Baking Italian love cake
Can I make 2 round love cakes in pans lined with parchment, then remove them from pans, stack and frost? Does this change cooking time?
Best Answer
I presume you are talking about cassata Siciliana (Sicilian feast cake) often served at weddings. It being thin (1 - 1.5 cm) slices of pound cake, layered with a ricotta/mascarpone cheese filling, and coated with a chocolate glaze or frosting.
In which case you can, but I recommend cutting each layer in half to make 4 total.
