Chocolate and Ricotta Cake

Made by my lovely Marloes over the Christmas holidays, this cake was so nice i had to try it out myself! :p so I asked Marloes the recipe and did it here in Sydney for a friend's bbq. The cake was still a bit warm when we ate it, mmmmmh, delicious! and so did think the others!
The ricotta really gives a light and soft touch to the cake and the chocolate & hazelnuts make it smell amazing! perfect for dessert, snack or breakfast :)

Ingredients (for a 10in cake pan long):
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour (250 grams)
- 3,53 oz ricotta (85 gr)
- 3,52 oz chopped hazelnuts (85 gr)
- 3,52 melted pure chocolate (85 gr)
- 7/8 cup sugar (175 gr)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (55gr)
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 teaspoons bakink powder
- milk if necessary

- icing sugar to sprinkle (optional)

Method:
Beat the eggs with sugar until frothy. Add melted butter, ricotta, salt and flour and baking powder sifted together, mix well (if the mixture is too hard, add a little milk, I have added two tablespoons). Add chopped hazelnuts and chocolate, mix well. Transfer the mixture into a buttered and floured cake pan and bake in the preheated gas oven at 300-335°F for 55 minutes about (do the toothpick test). Remove it from the cake pan and let cool on a rack. Sprinkle with icing sugar if you want, serve and Enjoy! :d
