How to Make Marble Ricotta Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter in half. In one half, gently fold in the cocoa powder.
  6. Spoon alternating scoops of the plain and chocolate batter into the prepared pan, creating a marble effect.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
