Description
A moist and tender cake made with ricotta and studded with melty chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the ricotta cheese, sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

- Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
