Happy (early) Mother's Day It's Wednesday. It's Cinco De Mayo and it's four days before Mother's Day so, what better time to post my Mother's Day dessert recipe? #mytimingisimpeccable 😂 Seriously though, I'm worried that since we have a lot going on this weekend, the special day would come and go without giving the moms in my life their proper recognition. I love you mom!!! ❤️ Full disclosure: I will NOT be making this beautiful cake for Mother's Day. 🎂 My youngest child is graduating from college and we're hosting a little graduation celebration for her on Sunday. I fully anticipate that my time will be consumed by party preparations and I won't have the time to make a special Mother's Day dessert but never fear - I ordered a special cake from a very talented friend. 🤫 Hopefully my mom will feel honored and celebrated despite the chaos of the day. This beautiful cake masterpiece was actually a birthday cake for my dad. Once again - my timing is on point. 😂 And even though I will not be making this 6 layer dessert creation this weekend - I feel like there are followers out there who are looking for a handcrafted dessert to make for mom this weekend. Moms love homemade gifts from their kids and I have a feeling that she will love this cake even more than a handprint turkey or a cheerio necklace. 🖐🏻😅 Now is the perfect time to start planning for your Mother's Day cake. 🍰 That was totally my plan when I posted this recipe 4 days early. 😅Anywho, now you have extra time to gather up your ingredients, find your cake pans and carve out time in your schedule to make this cake. Just a tip: You'll want to start this cake on Saturday if you want to gift it to your mom on Sunday. Italian Cassata Cake For the Filling 30 ounces ricotta (whole-milk) 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup sliced strawberries 2 lemons (zested) For the Cake 2 white cake layers 1/2 cup rum 2 tablespoons water For the Frosting 2 cups coconut whipped cream 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1 tablespoon rum
Frost sides and top of the cake with coconut cream frosting. Decorate with strawberry halves. Here's to my dad - Happy belated birthday! And to my mom - Happy Early Mother's Day. And here's to me and the wish that some day I will birthdays and holidays on the right days. 😂
Ciao!
