Lately I’ve been obsessed with ricotta and baking cakes as if there’s no tomorrow — and here is the Chocolate and Ricotta Plumcake, incredibly soft and even more tempting thanks to the addition of coarsely chopped hazelnuts!
Ricotta (136 Kcal per 100 g of product) is a dairy product with a delicate taste and a creamy, pasty texture, excellent for making sweet doughs lighter — from cheesecakes to cannoli filling and many other fantastic recipes.
The ricotta is also suitable for savoury preparations such as lasagne, ravioli, calzones, etc., and can be used as a thickener in many mixtures.

Preparation RECIPE CHOCOLATE AND RICOTTA PLUMCAKE
Beat the eggs with the sugar for a long time until you obtain a soft, frothy mixture.
Add the melted, warm butter, then the ricotta and the flour sifted together with the baking powder. Mix the batter well, and if it seems a bit too dense, thin it with a little milk.
Now add the coarsely chopped hazelnuts and 7 oz of chocolate, then mix the mixture well.
Pour the batter into a classic buttered and floured loaf pan or lined with parchment paper, leveling it well. Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for about 50 minutes, or according to your oven’s characteristics: always perform the toothpick test to check for doneness!
Remove from the oven and unmold onto a rack, letting the chocolate and ricotta plumcake cool.
Once cooled, cover the entire chocolate and ricotta plumcake with the remaining melted chocolate.
When slightly warm, slice and serve. Enjoy your chocolate and ricotta plumcake!
