Double Chocolate Ricotta Marble Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (50g) cocoa powder
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups (300g) sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese
½ cup (120ml) milk
½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips (for the batter)
For Topping:
150g dark chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon butter (for shine)
A handful of chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and ricotta cheese until creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients alternating with milk until smooth.
Divide the batter into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in cocoa powder and fold in chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate batter alternately into the pan.
Swirl gently with a skewer or knife to create a marble effect.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
For the topping:
Melt chocolate with butter until glossy, spread over cooled cake, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Slice, Serve and Enjoy
