Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 10-inch fluted tube pan (like a Bundt pan) by greasing and flouring it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs, pudding mix, and almond extract. Start blending on low speed with an electric mixer until the mixture is just moistened. Increase the speed to medium and continue blending for about 2 more minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip the cannoli cream until it reaches a smooth consistency.
In a chilled glass or metal bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it becomes foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, adjusting to your preferred sweetness, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Place the cooled cake on a cutting board and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces. Create the first layer in a trifle bowl by arranging cake pieces to cover the bottom. Sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips on top, followed by a layer of the cannoli cream. Repeat these layers until the bowl is nearly full, finishing with a topping of whipped cream and chocolate chips.
