Steps
To make the Ricotta Cake with Cocoa and Chocolate Chips, first, in a large bowl, beat the eggs for three minutes with the electric whisks together with the sugar.
After this operation, add the flour, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa, and ricotta. Also, add a pinch of salt and continue to mix everything with the electric whisks until you get a homogeneous mixture.
With a spatula, help yourself to gather all the ingredients. Pour the mixture into a slightly greased and floured cake pan, add the chocolate chips on the surface and bake in a preheated fan oven at 350°F for 38 minutes.
Do the toothpick test to check the baking. If it comes out dry, the cake is ready; otherwise, continue baking for a few minutes. Once cooled, you can remove the cake from the mold. It will stay soft and fluffy for at least 5 days if covered. If you want, you can cut it into slices and freeze them to enjoy whenever you desire.
