Chocolate chip Italian Ricotta cake

This recipe is slightly different from another ricotta cake I made. Equally as tasty and very easy to make.

Nice cake for the holidays!! Yummy!

Powdered sugar or whipped cream for garnish!

 

Recipe:

Whisk together 1 3/4 c flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt and set aside. 

Beat 1/2 c softened butter with 15 oz whole milk ricotta , 1 1/4 c sugar  for 5 minutes.

 Beat in 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla. Beat 1 min. Add flour mixture and beat til combined. Stir in 3/4 c mini chocolate chips. 

 Pour into a greased and dusted with powdered sugar springform pan and spread batter evenly. Bake in center of oven on 350 for 45 minutes. Ovens vary so test at 45 minutes with a toothpick or cake tester to see if center is baked.

FYI *** I used a 9”x 3” inch cheesecake pan.

***(Note) my cake at 350 degrees took 1 hour and 10 minutes to be baked.  Center was clean when cake tester was inserted in center.

 Cool and dust with powdered sugar!
