How to Make Chocolate Orange Ricotta Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 15 ounces (425g) ricotta cheese until well combined.
- Zest 2 large oranges into the bowl, then juice them and add ½ cup of the juice.
- Melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Add the orange juice to the melted butter and pour into the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chunks).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
