Detailed step-by-step description of how to cook the dish "Zuccotto". Try it by all means
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line and grease two 28cm round sandwich pans with non-stick baking paper.
- Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer or use an electric hand beater and beat until pale. Add eggs, one at a time, beating gently after each addition, until combined. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Spoon the mixture into the pans and bake for 12 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven. Set aside to cool.
- Grease a 2.5-litre (10-cup) metal or glass bowl and line with plastic wrap. Cut each cake horizontally and use to line the bowl, reserving one slice for the lid. Brush slices with 4 tablespoons of kirsch.
- To make the filling, place ricotta and icing sugar in a food processor and process until smooth. Fold in chocolate, almonds, glace fruits and remaining kirsch. Fold in cream, then spoon into the lined bowl and top with the reserved cake lid. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. Transfer to the fridge 1 hour before serving. Turn out onto a serving plate and dust with extra cocoa.
