Spumoni Cake image

I was having an "Italian Night" dinner party and needed to come up with a dessert. Many Italian desserts are just too rich for my taste, so I thought of spumoni ice cream, but I really wanted a cake. So I decided to try to come up with a cake that had the flavor of spumoni and this is the result!

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
4 eggs
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 of a box instant chocolate pudding mix (buy a 3 1/2 ounce box)
1/3 cup maraschino cherry, chopped
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 drops red food coloring
1/2 of a box instant pistachio pudding mix (buy a 3 1/2 ounce box)
3 drops green food coloring
4 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon rum extract
1/3 cup almonds, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°; grease three 8 inch layer pans.
  • Mix together cake mix, eggs, water and oil; beat for 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly into 3 separate bowls.
  • Mix ingredients for one of the layers into each bowl of batter; pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until picks inserted in centers come out clean.
  • Let cakes cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to rack and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, chill large bowl and beaters thoroughly.
  • Combine cold whipping cream, sugar and rum extract in chilled bowl.
  • Beat with electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. To test, lift beaters from whipped cream - stiff peaks should remain on surface.
  • Layer cake with chocolate on bottom, then pistaschio, then cherry, frosting with whipped cream between each layer then top and sides of cake. Sprinkle almonds on top.
