Ingredients
- 1 baked pound cake, preferably homemade but good quality store bought will do
- 1/3 cup or more dark Rum

- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate bar, chopped into bits
- 1/3 cup candied cherries
- 1/3 cup candied orange peel

- Place fruit on a breadboard or in a food processor and chop coarsely.
- Add chopped fruit to the cheese mixture.
- Stir thoroughly.
- Place one layer of cake on a serving platter.
- Spread with 1/3 cheese mixture.
- Repeat until all 4 cake layers are stacked.
- Do not cover top with cheese mixture.

This dessert sounds delicious and I'm excited to find this recipe for a Sicilian dessert. Part of my heritage is both Sicilian and Italian however my grandparents did not bake desserts; they provided Italian cookies and coffee on Sundays when we visited as a child.
