For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cannoli cream. To prevent the cake from sticking, ensure the Bundt pan is thoroughly greased and floured. If you don't have a trifle bowl, individual clear glasses work beautifully for presentation. For a boozy twist, brush the cake layers with a little amaretto liqueur before assembling the trifle.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt pan). (5 minutes)
02
Step
7 mins
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, eggs, pudding mix, vegetable oil, and almond extract. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until just moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan. (7 minutes)
03
Step
1 hrs 10 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 25 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. (70 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
While the cake cools, prepare the cannoli cream. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. (10 minutes)
05
Step
8 mins
In a chilled glass or metal bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. (8 minutes)
06
Step
25 mins
Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it into bite-sized pieces. In a trifle bowl or individual serving dishes, layer cake pieces, chocolate chips, and cannoli cream. Repeat layers until the bowl is nearly full. Top with whipped cream and a final sprinkle of chocolate chips. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (25 minutes)
