Steps

To make the Ricotta Cake with Cocoa and Chocolate Chips, first in a large bowl work the eggs with the sugar for three minutes using an electric whisk.
Once this operation is completed, add the flour, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa, and ricotta. Add a pinch of salt and continue to work all the ingredients, adding the milk, always with the electric whisk until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Use a spatula to help gather all the ingredients. Pour the mixture into a slightly greased and floured cake pan, add the chocolate chips on top and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 38 minutes.
Do the toothpick test to check the cooking. If it comes out dry once inserted, the cake is ready, otherwise continue cooking for a few more minutes. Once cooled, you can remove the cake from the mold. It will stay soft and fluffy for at least 5 days, covered. You can cut it into slices and freeze it, then enjoy it whenever you want.
