Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup ricotta cheese

3 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp milk

For the Chocolate Topping:

¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

¼ cup heavy cream

Additional chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the ricotta cheese and beat until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until the batter is smooth.
  2. Create the Marble Swirl: Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, stir in the cocoa powder and milk until fully combined. Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the loaf pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled effect.
  3. Bake the Cake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Add the Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips for garnish.
