Ricotta Chocolate Cake

Ricotta Chocolate Cake

It is only fitting that when we make our goat milk ricotta, and collect our eggs that we tell people how to use those ingredients in awesome ways. This recipe for ricotta chocolate cake has a texture more like a brownie and melts in your mouth. I added some luscious buttercream frosting, just for fun, and wow, talk about delish! I hope you like it 🙂

 

Ingredients:
6 tablespoons cocoa
5 tablespoons boiling water
7 ounces ricotta cheese
4.5 ounces softened butter
5 ounces sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
5.1 ounces of all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8″ square pan with cooking spray.
Mix the cocoa into the boiling water and set aside. Place ricotta in the bowl of a food processor and mix till creamy. Add butter mix again. Add sugar, vanilla and eggs and let mix till fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda and mix; while the blades are mixing pour in the cocoa/water mixture and let it mix until it is incorporated well. Pour into pan and bake until wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
