CHOCOLATE AND RICOTTA CAKE -- One of my favourite ways to eat ricotta? In a cake! INGREDIENTS: 300 g Plain Flour 4 large eggs 300g fresh ricotta 16g powder yeast for cakes 300g chopped dark chocolate 150g white sugar Small amount of butter Chocolate topping (for icecream) ½ a glass of milk. Icing sugar A small amount of Frangelico or Amaretto METHOD: 1. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees. 2. Using the piece of butter, rub it all over the bottom and sides of your baking pan, lining it so your cake doesn't stick. (You can use baking paper at this point if you like, but I prefer my Nonna's method). 3. Pour a small amount of flour into the centre of the baking tin. 4. Lift the tin up and lean it slightly on its side while tapping the side of it so that the flour starts to stick to the butter and also lines the tin. 5. Continue, by turning the tin slightly and hitting it on the other side. 6. Do this until the flour has spread over most of the tin. 7. Break four eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat them well. (You can use a hand mixer if it is easier). 8. Add the ricotta to the eggs, and squash it down as much as you can using a fork, while mixing it in with the eggs. 9. Add the flour to your mix (You can sift this in to help break it down a little more). 10. Now add the sugar, and mix well using a wooden spoon breaking down the ingredients as much as you can. 11. Add yeast to the mixture and continue to mix well. 12. Now, time to add the dark chocolate and fold it into the mixture as well. 13. After mixing this for a few minutes, add the Frangelico (or amaretto or milk), mixing this in as well, 14. Now add half a glass of milk and mix through one last time. 15. Pour your mixture into the cake tin, spreading it out and making it as even as you can. 16. Place the cake in the oven for around 35 minutes. 17. After 30 minutes, use a knife to test if the cake is cooked through the centre, If it comes out clean, it is ready, if not, it needs at least another ten minutes or wait until the top is nice and brown. 18. Once the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. 19. Sift some icing sugar over the top using a small sieve. 20. Decorate a flat serving plate with chocolate topping. 21. Slice a nice size piece of cake and place it on top of the chocolate, in the centre of a plate. E ora si mangia, Vincenzo's Plate...Enjoy!
