Instructions soft chocolate and ricotta cake

For this recipe I recommend having all the ingredients at room temperature. This also includes ricotta cheese.
Divide the whites from the yolks into two different bowls. Whip the whites until stiff and set aside.
Add sugar to egg yolks and whisk briefly with the mixer. Now add soft butter and whip until the three ingredients are well blended.
Add the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract. Whip again to mix everything.
Now add whipped whites and slowly incorporate them with movements from bottom to top using a spoon or a silicone spatula.
Sift the flour with the baking powder, a pinch of salt and the cocoa powder. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ones and mix with a whisk until the batter is smooth and without visible traces of flour.
Line the bottom of a 20 cm round baking pan with a circle of parchment paper. Grease the rest of the pan with a some butter and dust it with flour. Add the prepared batter and gently make it flat with a spoon.

Baking time

Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° for 50 – 55 minutes. To be sure, use the toothpick test to check if your cake is ready. If you use a larger pan, I recommend that you reduce the minutes required for baking.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning over and removing the cake from the pan. Let it cool completely before serving covered with plenty of powdered sugar.
