Cassata Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound cake, loaf, 9x5
2 cup ricotta cheese
4 oz chocolate, semi-sweet
1 oz orange liqueur
1 1/2 cup raspberry jam
2 cup chocolate frosting, or
2 cup whipped cream
1 toasted whole almonds (opt)


Directions

Chill pound cake for 1 hour. Trim edges and uneven pieces so cake is
level on all sides and top. Slice cake horizontally into 1/2" slices
and place on serving platter.

Force cheese through a sieve into a bowl and beat until smooth. Chop
chocolate into fine bits in a blender. Mix chocolate bits with
liqueur and jam.

Spread a portion of cheese on the bottom layer; then spread that with
a portion of jam mixture. Repeat until all layers are used, leaving
top plain. Press down gently. Use a spatula to even all sides. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours.

Before serving, frost with chocolate frosting or whipped cream and
garnish with almonds.


Servings: 10 servings

The History of Recipes

Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.

Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two interesting books which were published in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich people of those days.

When we get to the 20th century, cookery books are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer.
