I grew up eating chocolate cake. It was a little on the dry side but the icing was awesome and a glass of milk made everything good. This cake is the opposite - very moist. In fact so much so that you won't even need a glass of milk.
Chocolate Ricotta Cake
Sift together ~
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup Double- Dutch dark cocoa (I use King Arthur)
2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
In another bowl, mix together ~
1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
2 large eggs and 1 yolk
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup hot water
Stir the dry ingredients gradually into the wet. Place in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean at 350°. Allow to cool completely before icing.
