Double Chocolate Ricotta Marble (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 115 grams unsalted butter at room temp
02 - 2 big eggs
03 - 200 grams white sugar
04 - 5 milliliters vanilla flavor
05 - 120 milliliters whole milk
06 - 250 grams ricotta cheese

→ Add-Ins

07 - 90 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Dry Ingredients

08 - 125 grams plain flour
09 - 2 grams baking soda
10 - 4 grams baking powder
11 - 1 gram salt
12 - 45 grams rich cocoa powder

# Instructions:

01 - Let your cake chill out in the pan for about 10 minutes, then switch it over to a wire rack and leave it ’til it’s fully cooled before slicing in.
02 - Pop it in the hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes till a toothpick or knife comes out just clean from the middle.
03 - Dollop the chocolatey mix over your plain batter in random spots, then run a knife through a few times for those cool marbled swirls.
04 - Spread half your batter in the greased cake pan and mix the rest up with more cocoa powder ’til it’s all one color.
05 - Mix those chocolate chips in softly without beating up the batter.
06 - Toss your dry mix into the wet bowl a bit at a time, folding gently. Don’t overdo it or your cake will toughen up.
07 - Crack in eggs one by one, blend in the ricotta, vanilla, and milk until everything looks smooth.
08 - Beat your butter and sugar together in a large bowl so it all gets light and airy.
09 - Stir up flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt till they look evenly mixed.
10 - Crank your oven to 175°C and grease a round 23-cm cake pan to get ready.

# Notes:

01 - If you want your chocolate layer extra rich, melt the chips and swirl that in before baking.
02 - Chill out and let the cake totally cool before you slice so every piece looks neat and holds up.
