This is our classic celebration cake of choice for Christmas.
A rum-infused ricotta filling, laced with shards of dark chocolate, chopped glace cherries and toasted almonds, is sandwiched between three layers of a sherry-soaked Genoise style orange-zest-speckled sponge.
All smothered beneath a layer of cream cheese frosting and marzipan, topped with almond paste fruits, a scattering of glace cherries and slithers of candied citrus peel.
The thinnest of slices usually suffices.
