Spumoni Torte
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
YIELD: 16 servings.
I made up this recipe to end a big Italian Christmas Eve dinner. I thought it would be nice and light after a heavy meal. The cake frosts the best when it's been stored in the freezer for a day. —Lynne Ogg, East Bethel, Minnesota
