Steps

30 minutes

1

First, prepare the ricotta cream: Drain the ricotta for five days until it is dry. Using a hand mixer, blend the ricotta with the sugar, then add the chocolate chips.
2

Set aside.
3

In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar. Then add the flour and oil, and finally the baking powder. Mix well.
4

Butter and flour a baking pan, pour in the batter, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.
5

Let the cake cool completely, then turn it out of the pan.
6

Put the ricotta cream into a piping bag with a tip.
7

Pipe dollops of the cream to cover the entire cake. Decorate the top with candied orange peel and candied cherries. I also added chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs. It’s ready to be gifted or enjoyed with friends and family at Easter. This is a new and easy recipe to make. Thank you to everyone in the Cookpad group. Happy Easter and Easter Monday!
