Ingredients
Instructions
-
Special equipment: a 12-cup Bundt pan and a pastry brush
-
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, candied lemon, candied orange and chocolate chips. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for 1 minute until pale yellow. Add the eggs, vanilla, lemon zest and orange zest; mix for 2 minutes. Add the ricotta and milk; mix for 30 seconds (don't panic if it looks like it's separating). Add in the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for 1 minute just to incorporate everything together.
-
Pour the batter in the prepared Bundt pan. Set the pan on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake until fully cooked through, 1 hour.
-
Allow the cake to rest for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
-
For the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Marsala and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. Poke holes in the cake with a skewer. Remove the glaze from the heat and brush onto the Bundt cake. Allow the cake to absorb the sauce and cool for about 20 minutes.
-
Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired.
Why this Cannoli Bundt Cake works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Cannoli Bundt Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
