Number Of Ingredients 10

1 frozen pound cake (11 oz), thawed
1 1/2 c ricotta cheese
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c creme de cacao liqueur
1/4 c chocolate chips
1/4 c mixed candied fruit
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 c ready-to-spread chocolate frosting
2 Tbsp creme de cacao liqueur
confetti sprinkles

Steps:

1. Cut the pound cake into 3 horizontal layers. (This is easier if you turn the cake on it's side).
2. Combine the ricotta, sugar and creme de cacao in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips and candied fruit.
3. Place the bottom cake layer on a serving dish. Spread half the ricotta mixture evenly over the layer. Place the second cake layer on top, and spread the remaining ricotta mixture evenly over the top. Place the third cake layer on top.
4. Combine the chocolate frosting with the creme de cacao. Spread on the cake. Sprinkle the decorations over the top.
5. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
