Spumoni Cake

Have y'all ever had Spumoni Ice Cream?  There is an Italian Restaurant or thence me that serves it for dessert.  It comes amongst your meal, thence everyone gets, it no thing what.  It's a combination of chocolate, cherry together with pistachio H2O ice cream together with it's delicious.  The perfect sweetness ending to a heavy pasta meal.

I decided to replicate the same flavors into a cake.

I wanted to build this every bit elementary every bit possible, thence I made my, go-to, shortcut cake recipe, divided it betwixt 3 bowls together with and then added unlike flavorings to each bowl.  Super easy.

With each spell y'all larn chocolate, cherry together with pistachio cake.  Not entirely is it pretty, but it's thence yummy.  The cake is extremely moist, thence I decided to operate past times it amongst merely a sparse layer of elementary buttercream frosting.  The cake actually is thence expert on it's own, y'all could swallow it without frosting (yes, me, the frosting lover actually merely said that).  I was originally planning to operate past times it amongst pistachio frosting, but that turned out actually grainy.  It mightiness convey been because I used generic pudding mix together with I convey never had expert results amongst this item brand.

Anyway, I re-made the frosting together with left out the pudding mix together with it was means better.  There is thence much going on amongst the cake, that a basic frosting is merely right.  BUT, if y'all wishing to exit off the frosting, a dusting of powdered saccharide would hold out a expert choice. Garnish amongst a maraschino cherry together with serve.
