Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Cake:
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese drained
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips optional
  • For Serving:
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Fresh berries optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly.
  • Prepare the Cake Pan: Grease your 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking.
  • Mix the Ricotta Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and eggs. Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Sifting helps to aerate the flour and ensures even mixing.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the ricotta mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix. If you're using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
  • Pour Batter into Pan: Once combined, pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the Cake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the Cake: After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries if desired. Enjoy your delicious Torta di Ricotta e Cioccolato!
  • Variations
  • Nutty Addition: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or almonds for a nutty flavor.
  • Fruit Infusion: Incorporate some orange or lemon zest into the ricotta mixture for a citrusy twist.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make this cake gluten-free.
