Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the ricotta cheese and mix until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  11. For the frosting, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add the powdered sugar and cinnamon until stiff peaks form.
  12. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  13. Decorate with additional mini chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, let the cake sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to add more chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
