Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Cannoli Cake
  1. Make the Vegan Ricotta by blending dairy-free milk and thickener until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add chocolate chips to the batter, folding gently to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. Prepare Frosting by combining remaining ricotta with powdered sugar and chocolate chips until creamy.
  7. Assemble the Cake by spreading frosting between and on top of layers, and optionally topping with chocolate chips.
